Popeye’s is a major chain with restaurants all over the United States.
It is one of the most popular and beloved fast food chains in the country.
However, you might not know that Popeye’s is run by franchisees. That means
that individual owners are in charges of the Popeye’s stores; the national
brand is made up of several franchise owners. One of the largest franchise
owners is Guillermo Perales. He owns most of the Popeye’s stores in Dallas, Texas, and now
also owns stores in Florida, Oklahoma,
and around the United States.
While Sun Holdings also run franchises for other fast food brands, for more
than 400 franchises in total, Popeye’s is one of their largest brands.
When Popeye’s wants to expand their franchises, they often
turn to Guillermo Perales as a franchisee. This year, Popeye’s is building four
stores that will be franchised to Sun Holdings. Two of those stores will be in Oklahoma and two will be in Texas. These will add on to the already
large number of Popeye’s franchises that are owned and operated by Sun
Holdings, LLC, Guillermo Perales’s Dallas-based company. Guillermo Perales
looks forward to working in new communities in Oklahoma
and Texas,
and to creating jobs in those towns.
Popeye’s relies on Guillermo Perales to represent the brand
to the community. They trust his business sense and know that he will hire
great staff to run the stores. Guillermo Perales received the Popeye’s
Developer of the Year Award in 2003, 2004, and 2006. He also received three
Popeye’s Gold Plate awards, three Silver Plate awards and two Bronze Plate
awards from Popeye’s. He was named #1 in Operations Excellence in 2006, 2007,
and 2008. Guillermo works well with Popeye’s management, and his stores always
achieve high rankings for quality, customer service, and other benchmarks.
