Rapper and entrepreneur Megan Thee Stallion has opened her first Popeyes franchise, marking a step into restaurant ownership after collaborating with the brand for several years.
The restaurant opened in Miami’s South Beach area, where Megan Thee Stallion appeared on site for the launch and interacted with employees and customers. The opening follows her earlier partnership with Popeyes that began in 2021.
Megan Thee Stallion first worked with the fast-food chain through the launch of Hottie Sauce, a limited-time menu item tied to the company’s chicken sandwich and nuggets. The collaboration expanded into merchandise and promotional campaigns and included plans for franchise ownership.
At the Miami opening, Megan Thee Stallion helped serve customers and greeted staff members. In a message shared publicly, she said she was “officially a franchise owner.”
The Popeyes location operates under the standard menu offered by the chain. No timeline has been announced for additional locations.
Megan Thee Stallion joins a group of entertainers who have moved into franchise ownership as part of broader business efforts beyond music. Popeyes has not released further details about future projects connected to the partnership.
