Road traffic need to address those lines. It's ridiculous for someone to sit on a line by Shell gas station waiting to get through a drive through by fox hill. It's called obstructing traffic, it's on the books, there's a fine for it. Yesterday I saw a 70+ year old man struggling to cross the 4 lane HIGHWAY on foot. These people are worse than the Doris Johnson students making a nuisance of themselves in traffic. Worse than that, someone stuck in that ridiculous backup, did a u-turn in the middle of Prince Charles, in the front of two lanes of oncoming traffic. When people **predictably** start getting hurt, I hope the company pays the hospital bill.

The company should be made to pay for two traffic police or security to cut off that line at a reasonable number of cars

Comrade ThisIsOurs what a testament to we's passion for deep fried chickens with your visible portrayal of how you saw a 70+ year old man struggling to cross the 4 lane highway on he foots - outs looking for his chance munch on some that fine Louisiana’s juicy Popeye chickens.
Good for Pop's who at 70+ knows good chickens once he can locate them - and may the good lord takes a Popeye licking for him to him enjoying another 20+ years juicy mouth watering chickens hunting.

Lol. I'm glad the company is a success, don't get me wrong, but the road was converted to dual lanes for a reason. Traffic is ridiculous. Those people will be sitting for at least one hour before they even get in the parking lot. Added to that you cannot be allowed to indiscriminately cross a highway, that's also an offense "jaywalking". It's **dangerous**

when the police start enforcing all the traffic laws in the bahamas we'll have another "teachable moment" in history....

UNDERSERVED ...really?

yes, the bahamas imports only 17 million pounds of chicken a year according to caricom

please sir, can i have some more?

underserved fried chicken market, my fat a?s.

It is time the government imposed a special tax on all fast food restaurants. Why should I pay extra taxes (NHI) for all of these obese masses of redundant protoplasm ( Fat people) who gorge themselves and will burden the public healthcare system with completely preventable diseases and by the way continue to make these men fantastically rich. They reap the profits while we pay the bill for the diseases caused by all this unhealthy fast food. Tax fast food heavily and therefore encourage persons to eat healthier!

Operative statement: numbers houses and fast food outlets are the only places hiring right now ............ and yes there should be a 5% tax on fast food + VAT to help pay for NHI ............. fast food is just like alcohol and tobacco

you will have the tax in the form of your NHI contribution. the money that poor people used to buy insurance (if they could afford) they can now invest into the underserved chicken market, and get free diabetes monitoring through NHI without any copay. Nice. Can you imagine what people will do all day, when they are unemployed and bored? maybe a field trip to the doctor?

What a bunch of cry babies. If i want chicken i will wait in line. Free interpriese is good for all all sell chicken in shop or sell penutes or paper on the side of the road.

They ain't supposed to be on the side of the road either, all of these "little" infractions lead to increased disrespect for law, because "I can get away with it". You can't block a public road to satisfy your selfish needs. There are other businesses and homes on that side of the street. Pay a security and cut the line off at a reasonable number of cars.

Agreed............ if you build a restaurant to seat 500 and serve drive thru, then you need a sizeable parking lot

I wonder if any of the principals of the restaurant have to sit through that traffic to drop their kids home from school. What would the restaurant say if traffic from another Prince Charles business blocked their entrance for days? People always seem willing to ask others to suffer through things they themselves could never imagine, would ever experience or ever be willing to endure

Why can't we do things 1."Decently "and 2. "In order"

another sad statement.....people will line up for hours in a queue, causing inconvenience for others in transit and in one instance an accident over fried chicken. Such a brilliant people have evolved in this nation in the last 40 years. Truly would be a " Greek tragedy" but in this instance, seems to be another conquest.

Comrades where is your compassion for juicy deep fried chickens lovers? From sounds it you guys has long been ready call out traffic policeman''s start ticketing Popeye's loyal customers.
One day you mad at PM and his Universal BAHAMACARE, you don't believe government is on the level about anything, don't believe what media tells you, the boss is a prick, BTC dropping ya calls, banks are crooks, BEC can't keep damn light on - and now you messin with the chicken merchants business.
Good God Almighty, what manner of people has they become when nothing or no one can please them?
Not good when they treat a foreigner like Popeye with such hurry up and move that damn car from blocking me from rushing wager my chicken lunch money with the numbers man's.
If i was Popeye store owner, I'd sell numbers with me chickens.

Lol. Actually Tal, I was expecting the police to show up on their own volition to break up the mess, I was sincerely surprised that they didn't. If that was the bar on Prince Charles or a private party causing that backup, they would have been there in a minute.

I am super happy that 80? People have employment at a restaurant that hopefully has a bright future. But this ain't right. What happens when school opens in January. That's 3 weeks away.

Foolishness. I live in the east and have watched the POPEYE'S building go up. They should have put in a separate lane for turning into the property because they are now blocking the lane for drivers who want to continue east (like me!) or turn left onto Fox Hill Road. Lack of planning, and where's Road Traffic or security (someone!) to sort this mess out. Also, I don't know what 'underserved chicken market' Chris Tsavoussis is talking about because in the little stretch of Prince Charles Drive there is SAMMY'S CHICKEN, IMPERIAL CAFE and BAMBOO SHACK. Don't forget rotisserrie chicken @ nearby Super Value/Quality Market and several jerk places nearby in Fox Hill. KFC is heading west on Prince Charles as well. Chicken Wars in the east: choose your restaurant!

and, remember let's count the faied chicken franchises:
1. rollo pollo
2. chicken delight
3. chicken unlimited
4. church's chicken
5. the previous incarnation of popeye's

after junkanoo and christmas the novelty will be gone, the money too, so no lines.

It's just the Tsavoussis brothers trying to eat George Myers corpulent lunch. I recall a certain story that I heard where some unnamed business siblings drove a competing pizza franchise out of town by conducting a jihad of calling in fake telephone pizza orders day and night until the franchise became unprofitable. Business is war on a civilised scale.

Comrades in the Spirit of Christmas I need addressThisIsOurs recollection about seeing a 70+ year old man struggling to cross the street during high traffic period as he made his way toward the new Popeyes Chicken Shack.
I now have it on the best of street-wise mythical authority that the 70+year old man's attempting cross da traffic busy street may have just been none other than the bonafide Santa Clause making his way for a Santa's job interview with the Tsavoussis brothers to work as their onsite Santa over da Christmas at Popeyes newest underserved chicken location.
Can't help but wonder if Santa succeeded in beating out the yellow chicken costume man's, for the seasonal job in our "underserved paychecks" market, and will
Tsavoussis brothers be adding Popeyes mouth watering Cajun style turkeys to their local Underserved Restaurant's Christmas and beyond the season's Menu?

When you write Santa, tell him to **eat in moderation**. **It's highly seasoned and SALTY!!! That means Bahamians will love it**, but it won't help our blood pressure readings much. A friend was too excited to bring me some:) he LOVED IT. Another friend told me someone brought him some,and he LOVED IT. Both taking advantage of the short lines on Sunday morning. I said to one of them, it's ok but very salty, I can still taste the salt, he said "oh I was wondering what that aftertaste was. No wonder *I suck down* those two bottles of water". Moderation Santa, moderation.
