The hype around Popeyes' chicken sandwich (with video)

It was in August when Popeyes put its chicken sandwich in select restaurants, kicking off the “sandwich wars” against competitor Chick-fil-A.

Shortly after, Popeyes announced the launch of its chicken sandwich had been so successful that they ran out. The company also stated it would eventually be making its return — but they didn’t say when.

And then it happened. The signal consumers had been waiting for. On Sunday, Popeyes tweeted: “Y’all...It’s Sunday. 🏃🏃” with a GIF of its chicken sandwich attached.

The choice to release its $3.99 sandwich on a Sunday came with strategy. It happens to be the day Chick-fil-A is closed.
