True to its commitment to bringing great-tasting beverages and refreshing moments, Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP) announces the renewal of its partnership with Popeyes Philippines (PLK Philippines, Inc.), making Coca-Cola the official beverage partner in all Popeyes restaurants.
This collaboration ensures that every Popeyes meal–from their classic New Orleans-style fried chicken to new offerings–will be complemented by a refreshing Coca-Cola drink.
The renewal was marked by a signing ceremony at Popeyes Market! Market! attended by key representatives from Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP): President and CEO Gareth McGeown, Commercial VP Chris Pesigan, Modern Trade Director April Apsay, National On-Premise Head Cindy Banaria, National Key Accounts Group Manager Ryan Villanueva, National Key Accounts Sr. Lead July Alcantara, and Marketing Assistant Manager Andrea Bautista. Popeyes Philippines was represented by President and CEO Roy Quejada, COO Dan Hayton, and Marketing Director Dustin Ngo.
“At Coca-Cola, we believe that helping our customers grow their business is good business. We are committed to supporting their growth, ensuring great consumer experiences, and delivering world-class services. We thank Popeyes Philippines for trusting our team, our business, and our brands—rest assured that all of us at CCEAP will continue to support their success and create memorable moments for consumers nationwide,” said Gareth McGeown, President and CEO of CCEAP.
Under this agreement, Coca-Cola will continue to be prominently featured across Popeyes’ channels. The partnership expands with Popeyes’ new stores, including those recently opened in Greenhills and SM Dasmariñas—ensuring that more customers can enjoy great-tasting chicken and refreshing beverages.
“We look forward to strengthening our partnership with CCEAP as we continue to spark crazy love across the country,” said Roy Quejada, CEO of PLK Philippines, Inc. “We believe that Coca-Cola will support us as we expand our reach and continue to provide Filipinos with an unforgettable and vibrant dining experience.”
With sixty (60) Popeyes restaurants operational to date, the brand plans to continue expanding aggressively within and outside Metro Manila, bringing the Popeyes and Coca-Cola experience to even more areas nationwide.
PLK Philippines, Inc. operates Popeyes restaurants in the country, bringing the world-famous brand to Filipino diners. Originally founded in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Popeyes became a global sensation, known for its unique fried chicken, signature Chicken Tenders, iconic Chicken Sandwiches, and US imported Honey Biscuits.
Together, Coca-Cola and Popeyes are ready to offer Filipinos even more enjoyable experiences in the years ahead.
