Megan Thee Stallion Launches Popeyes Franchises: A Hot Girl Takeover

Megan Thee Stallion is making major entrepreneurial moves in 2025, officially launching her own Popeyes franchise and bringing her signature Hot Girl energy to the fast-food industry. The Grammy-winning rapper recently took to Instagram to share a sneak peek of her new Popeyes location, currently under construction and set to open this summer. “My very own @popeyes is opening this summer, Hotties! I just stopped by to check out the location-it’s still just the bones right now, but this is about to be the littest Popeyes ever!” Megan wrote, giving fans an inside look at her latest business venture.

This franchise launch is part of a broader, unprecedented collaboration between Megan Thee Stallion and Popeyes, which began with a five-unit development deal signed in late 2021. Not only does this partnership make Megan a Popeyes franchise owner, but it also positions her as a creative force behind the brand. She worked closely with the Popeyes culinary team to develop the exclusive “Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce,” a sweet and spicy condiment made with honey, cider vinegar, and Aleppo pepper-perfectly complementing Popeyes’ classic chicken sandwich and nuggets.

The impact of this partnership goes beyond food. Megan and Popeyes have launched three exclusive lines of co-branded merchandise, including apparel and accessories that reflect Megan’s bold style. The first collection, Thee Heat, dropped alongside the Hottie Sauce release, and fans can access these limited-edition items through TheeHottieSauce.com.

Philanthropy is also at the heart of this collaboration. Popeyes and Megan Thee Stallion have pledged a six-figure donation to Houston Random Acts of Kindness, supporting empathy and compassion in Megan’s hometown.

“I’m appreciative of Popeyes’ commitment to empowering Black women and look forward to opening Popeyes Restaurants,” Megan Thee Stallion said. “Teaming up with Popeyes is such a milestone in my journey and evolution as an entrepreneur. I’ve always been a fan of the Popeyes brand and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join the brand and help create the new Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce for their line-up”.

The response to the Hottie Sauce and the collaboration has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising the sauce’s sweet, bold, and spicy profile and the creative branding that accompanies it. The sauce has been described as a standout addition to Popeyes’ menu, offering a unique twist that reflects Megan’s vibrant personality.

With her Popeyes franchise launch, Megan Thee Stallion is not only expanding her business portfolio but also redefining what it means to be a celebrity entrepreneur-merging music, food, fashion, and philanthropy in a true Hot Girl Takeover.
