Popeyes Franchisee Stripped of Restaurants After Wage Scandal

 

A Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen franchisee in Toronto has lost control of multiple restaurants following serious allegations from employees over unpaid wages and poor working conditions. Staff at the Scarborough location on Lawrence Avenue East staged protests, claiming they were owed weeks of back pay and had received multiple bounced cheques. Workers also raised concerns about unsanitary kitchen conditions and the use of unsanctioned food supplies.

Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the parent company of Popeyes, confirmed it has intervened and begun transferring the affected restaurants to new franchisees. A spokesperson emphasized that all employees will be compensated for the wages they are owed as part of the transition process.

Toronto Public Health has also announced a follow-up inspection of the location after videos surfaced showing unhygienic conditions inside the kitchen.

The case highlights ongoing challenges in the fast-food franchise sector, where corporate oversight and franchisee accountability remain under scrutiny.
