BEIJING, Aug 21 (Reuters) - TH International Limited
THCH.O has set a goal to open 1,700 Popeyes eateries across
China in the next decade, a source with direct knowledge of the
matter said, after it relaunched the Cajun-inspired fast food
chicken chain Popeyes in the country last Saturday.
TH International, also known as Tims China, took over as the
exclusive operator and developer of the Restaurant Brands
International-owned QSR.TO Popeyes brand in China from TFI TAB
Food Investments in March.
Tims China, which also operates the Tim Hortons coffee chain
in China, also aims to increase the number of Popeyes
restaurants in Shanghai to 10 by the end of this year, the
source said, declining to be named as the information was not
yet public.
