While KFC is specialised for its chicken Popeye's also offer customer few seafood choices such as tempura and shrimp. They also invent biscuit and chicken mashed potato on their menu. Popeye's is also offering free Wi-Fi. Force 5: Rivalry among existing competitors McDonald's is KFC strongest competitors which also offering its menu items similar to KFC.
Radix Fried Chicken also specializes in fried chicken and has grabbed customers' attention by switching their taste. Radix Fried Chicken was found in 2013 while KFC has started since 1930. Force 4: Threats of Substitute or Services Popeye's is known for Louisiana kitchen. Their menu and taste are mostly similar to KFC.
In the chicken segment, KFC was losing market share as other chicken chains such as Chick-fil-A and Boston Market increased sales at a faster rate. Many industry analysts predicted that Boston Market would challenge KFC for market leadership. Popeyes and Church's were potent new competitors, trying to compete head-on with fried-chicken chains.
Threats: Most of Popeyes' locations can be founded in urban neighborhoods. The local competition on neighborhood fried chicken restaurant offer lower price to Popeyes' corporate pricing. There are poor customer base in certain areas and natural disasters. The SWOT analysis for the future of Popeyes looks to be great.
One major improvement that I feel Popeyes should improve upon is its domestic in minority based neighborhood for the safety of its employees and monetary losses and its minority base advertisement concept. They should appeal to all neighborhoods and advertise to the appeasement of all. Popeyes sells chicken so their "target market" is anybody who likes chicken.
Popeyes: To be the world's best quick service restaurant. Being the best means providing outstanding quality service, cleanliness, and value, so that makes every customer in every restaurant smile. SWOT Analysis: Strengths: The strength of Popeyes is based on its distinctive brand and style of Louisiana spicy chickens that it provides on its menu along with its chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, fried shrimps and other seafood, jambalaya, red beans and rice and other regional items.
6.2.3 Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Popeyes story began in 1972, when Al Copeland opened a quick-service restaurant called "Chicken on the run." The restaurant served traditional mild fried chicken to the folks in the small New Orleans suburb of Arabi. Popeyes opened its 500th restaurant, putting the brand on equal footing with national competitors. In a nationwide taste test, Popeyes beat Church's Chicken and KFC, "America's Fried Chicken Champ - The Spicy taste That Can't Be Beat." Popeyes opened the first franchise in Malaysia at 2001.
Popeyes is a highly differentiated brand with passion for its New Orleans heritage n flavorful authentic foods. Weakness: Popeyes is second to its sister company KFC. About 90% of their domestic restaurants are concentrated in Tennessee and Louisiana. Most of their restaurants are located in heavily populated African-American neighborhoods; giving them higher chances of being robbed and giving them a higher close-out outlook.
Their international franchising extends as far as South Korea. It is owned and operated by Yum Brands; the same company that owns and operate KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. One distinct advantage is that all Popeyes franchises do not share the same building as you see a Pizza Hut and a Taco Bell or a KFC and a Taco Bell.
Menu items offered like fried chickens, burgers, wings, drumsticks, side dishes, carbonated beverages and desserts are similar to other fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, Popeye's, and Burger King. Services are at tip stop speed comparing to other restaurants in the fast-food chain. KFC is always public acceptance and first option when they think of the phrase "fried chicken at an affordable price".. read more
