The joys of worry-free party with Popeyes Chicken

We all love to celebrate. Parties are planned for birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, reunions, graduations or just about any occasion. Any call for celebrations always causes excitement for the guests but anxiety for the hosts.

Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits, the world’s second largest fried chicken chain, offers a variety of services and packages to suit one’s needs when it comes to partying.

Weena Manero, says eating out has something to do with time or the lack of it. Weena, an insurance underwriter, says, "After working for about eight hours daily, the last thing I need is more work. I can simply eat at a restaurant like Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits which offers really good food. It is also perfect when you want to get together with friends but don’t want the hassle of preparing for the party." Weena’s friends — Aissa, Gesila and Mia — agree. Gesila Biantan, a confessed workaholic, says cooking your own meal is fun only if you have the time. "I usually go home late and very tired. So, I make it a habit to pass by Popeyes to eat. Sometimes, I just get some food to-go," relates Aissa Estribo, a government employee. "And of course, chatting and eating go well perfectly!" Mia Cequina, a technical support engineer, exclaims. "We lose track of how much Popeyes biscuits, popcorn shrimp and Cajun fries we consume whenever we get together."

The need for convenience is also one of the most common reasons why a lot of housewives like Bessie Espina opt for catering. Married to Atty. Gabriel Espina, an officer in a government agency and with two teenagers, Bessie says that cooking for her family is really fun.

"I really love to cook and I do love surprising them with different menus everyday. But my children like to surprise me by bringing home their friends and cousins. So for our instant parties and family gatherings, I prefer catering by Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits," expresses Bessie. "Our teen-aged guests always go crazy over the Jambalaya rice, mashed potatoes, chicken strips and chicken sandwich."

Mothers always want the best for their children. Their kid’s birthdays should be memorable and affordable, yet with no preparation pains. Preparing for your child’s party is a tough job for a mother who has a career to think of.

Jenny Weineke, an advertising executive and mother of four, shares, "In the past, I had to go through every little detail from the selection of venue, purchase of the goodies for the loot bags, planning the games, keeping the little dynamos interested and even washing the dishes or cleaning the house when the party’s over. Besides struggling to get all these done, there’s still the question of being to make it on time and of course, the cost."

A party package at Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits will include a coloring sheet (the best one chosen which will receive a special prize at the end of the party), balloons, loot bags, gift items, prizes for the games, and with of course, set meals from the world-famous Popeyes’ menu variants. And a special and unique bonus is the live appearance of Popeye the Sailor Man and Olive Oyl. Whether you’re 4 or 84, the mere presence of this lovable and funny pair never fails to awe kids of all ages. Special options include birthday cakes and live magic or balloon twisters.

"Variety is very important when planning a party. At Popeyes, the children enjoyed the fried chicken and gravy, spaghetti, Cajun fries while the adults relished the side dishes such as the onion rings, coleslaw and the Cajun rice," Jenny remarks.

Its loyal patrons agree that, occasion or no occasion, Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits is the best time and place to be for making every special moment memorable and worry-free. And for women who love hosting parties and get-togethers like Weena, Bessie and Jenny, Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits is all above the joys of a hassle-free party.
