I’m surprised. Our Popeye’s is very clean and the service is great. They recently redecorated inside and out, and it’s very nice.
Could be location and worker pool. Not to mention management. Around here, most of the ones are more central township I.ie., inner city. If they’re any out in the burbs, I haven’t seen, or been to one.
CF’A on the other hand, seems to me more professionally run, regardless of location. I’m sure corporate has a rigid vetting process for prospective franchisees.
