If you’ve been craving a certain fried chicken fix, you may only have to wait another year.
The popular chain Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has posted a job listing for kitchen cooks at a new location planned for Prince George.
The chain is currently hiring permanent, part-time and full-time staff for the restaurant, which is expected to be built on a vacant site next to the BC Cannabis Store at 6111 Southridge Ave. It's across the road from Walmart.
A worker at a neighbouring business said construction is expected to be completed sometime next year.
The worker also noted the lot next door would be home to additional storefronts in addition to the new Popeyes, although this hasn't been confirmed.
According to the job ad recently posted on Indeed, the Popeyes kitchen positions pay between $18.15 and $18.50 per hour, with four- and eight-hour shifts available.
Employees are offered benefits including dental care, extended health coverage and more.
Required experience for the positions includes at least one year in the following areas:
- Food industry
- Food handling
- Food management
- Food preparation
- Food processing
- Food safety
- Cooking
- Time management
- Organizational skills
- Cleaning
Popeyes has 373 locations across Canada. The nearest one to Prince George is in Quesnel.
There are more than 3,700 locations worldwide.
The American chain serves fried chicken, chicken sandwiches and seafood.
Reactions on social media, including the Prince George subreddit, where the job listing was shared, have been a mix of excitement and confusion over the rumoured location and construction timeline.
