A major Popeyes franchisee said that the chain's famous chicken sandwich helped increase sales.
Carrols Restaurant Group Inc. operates 55 Popeyes restaurants in 23 states.
The company said Monday that preliminary same-store sales for its Popeyes stores rose 21.2% year-over-year.
This was in the fourth quarter reports Businss Insider.
The massive growth was encouraged, in part, by the chain's chicken sandwich, which went viral this past summer.
