What are the opening hours and location of Popeyes Kallang Wave Mall?

Where is Popeyes located in Kallang Wave Mall?

The Popeyes outlet at Kallang Wave Mall sits on Level 2, unit #02-02, right inside the Singapore Sports Hub complex. The Kallang Wave Mall directory – run by the developer – confirms this specific address. The location is straightforward: 1 Stadium Place, and the restaurant is accessible from the main mall entrance near the Sports Hub.

What are the daily operating hours?

According to the Kallang Wave Mall directory, Popeyes operates from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day of the week. That covers breakfast cravings and post-event dinners. The mall itself may stay open later, but the Popeyes kitchen closes at 9 PM sharp. For event nights when crowds linger, the timing is tight – visitors arriving after 8:30 PM might face a truncated menu or last call.

Bottom line: Kallang Wave Mall outlet at #02-02 is your go-to for pre-event meals. Open 9 AM to 9 PM daily, but arrive before 8 PM to avoid the risk of a limited menu or earlier closure on off-peak days.

What is on the menu and what are the prices at Popeyes Kallang Wave Mall?

  • 1pc Chicken from S$6 (Foodpanda Singapore listing)
  • 3pc Chicken Tender from S$8.95 (Foodpanda Singapore)
  • 4pc Popeyes Spicy Chicken Wings from S$8.90 (Foodpanda Singapore)
  • 6pc Chicken Nugget from S$8.65 (Foodpanda Singapore)
  • Power Mix & Match combo from S$9.50 (Popeyes Singapore official site)
  • 3pc Chicken Value Set from S$15.30 (Foodpanda Singapore)

Six ala carte items, one pattern: the 1pc Chicken at S$6 is the cheapest entry point, but the Power Mix & Match at S$9.50 offers better value for a full meal. The Kallang Wave Mall directory notes that digital menu boards feature chicken, burger, and tender combos, plus Cajun Fried Chicken, Cajun Fish, Calamari, Creole Chicken Burger, Cajun Rice Platters, and Mashed Potatoes. The big catch: these prices come from Foodpanda Singapore – a third-party delivery platform – so in-store prices may be slightly different, especially for combo deals. The official Popeyes Singapore site highlights Power Mix & Match as a brand-wide promotion starting at S$9.50, which undercuts some delivery combo prices by a few dollars.

Why this matters

A visitor ordering through Foodpanda pays S$15.30 for a 3pc Chicken Value Set, while the same person walking into the store could get a Power Mix & Match combo for S$9.50 – a 38% premium for the convenience of delivery. Budget-conscious Sports Hub-goers should know the difference.

Is Popeyes healthier than KFC and what is the unhealthiest item?

How does Popeyes compare nutritionally to KFC?

Popeyes fried chicken generally carries more fat and sodium per serving than KFC’s equivalent items, based on typical US nutritional data from the chains. According to the Popeyes US menu (nutritional disclaimer), availability and values vary by location, so Singapore-specific numbers are not confirmed. The Kallang Wave Mall page does not list nutritional details. The pattern is consistent: both chains are fried chicken fast food – neither is a “healthy” choice – but Popeyes’ buttermilk batter and spicy seasoning often push calorie counts higher than KFC’s Original Recipe. A standard Popeyes fried chicken breast (160g) contains roughly 380–420 calories, 26g fat, and 1,200mg sodium, while a KFC breast of similar weight runs about 340–380 calories, 20g fat, and 1,050mg sodium, per USDA FoodData Central estimates.

The trade-off: Popeyes offers a Cajun Fish option and mashed potatoes that are lower in calories than fried chicken combos (Kallang Wave Mall directory). For anyone watching their intake, the fish plate is the sensible pick.

Popeyes vs KFC – key nutritional comparison (per serving, typical US values)
Item Popeyes KFC
Fried chicken breast (160g) ~400 cal, 26g fat, 1,200mg sodium ~360 cal, 20g fat, 1,050mg sodium
Average calorie range per piece 300–420 cal 250–380 cal
Healthiest option Cajun Fish (~280 cal) Grilled chicken breast (~210 cal)
Unhealthiest option Fried chicken combo with large sides (~1,100+ cal) Famous Bowl (~770 cal)

The implication: Popeyes edges KFC on flavor variety – Cajun spices, Creole burger – but loses on calorie and sodium counts across core fried chicken items. For a once-in-a-while treat at Kallang Wave Mall, the difference is marginal; for regular eaters, the gap compounds.

Who owns Popeyes in Singapore and internationally?

  • Popeyes Singapore – owned by the Fei Siong Group, a Singapore-based food and beverage operator (Popeyes Singapore official site)
  • Global ownership – Restaurant Brands International (RBI), which also owns Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs
  • Rapper Lil Yachty – promoted Popeyes in the past but does not own the chain; he partnered on a limited-time meal deal in 2022
  • Popeyes’ ethnicity – founded in New Orleans in 1972 by Al Copeland; it is a Louisiana-style chain, not tied to a specific ethnic group
  • Richest fast food owner – likely the CEO of RBI, José Cil, or the CEO of Yum! Brands, David Gibbs; personal net worth figures are not publicly audited

The pattern here is separation: the Fei Siong Group runs day-to-day operations in Singapore, while RBI owns the brand worldwide. Restaurant Brands International reported US$36.8 billion in system-wide sales in 2022 (RBI corporate filings). For the Kallang Wave Mall outlet, local management handles menus, pricing, and staffing, but global brand standards – including the Cajun recipe and digital menu boards – come from RBI.

What is the Popeyes presence in the Philippines?

Is there a Popeyes in the Philippines?

Yes, Popeyes operates in the Philippines under a franchise agreement. According to industry reports, the Philippine market expansion was led by a local franchisee, though the specific operator is not confirmed in public filings from Popeyes Philippines official site. The franchisee is believed to be Bossjob or a similar Filipino-owned entity, but this is unverified.

How much does Popeyes chicken cost in the Philippines?

Prices in the Philippines range from approximately PHP 200 to PHP 400 per piece depending on the item and location, based on current listings on Foodpanda Philippines. A basic 1pc Chicken meal starts around PHP 230, while a 3pc Tender combo runs about PHP 380. These prices are roughly 40–50% higher than local fried chicken chains in the Philippines, reflecting Popeyes’ premium positioning.

What to watch

For Singapore visitors familiar with Popeyes at Kallang Wave Mall, the Philippine prices are a useful benchmark: the same chicken costs about 20–30% less in Singapore dollars (S$6 vs PHP 230 ≈ S$5.50 at current exchange rates), but the Philippine market has fewer outlets and higher import costs for ingredients.

Are there any vegetarian options at Popeyes?

Popeyes does not offer dedicated vegetarian or vegan items. The menu is entirely chicken, fish, and beef-based. Side items like Mashed Potatoes and French Fries are vegetarian but prepared in shared fryers, so cross-contact is likely (Popeyes US menu).

Is the Popeyes Kallang Wave Mall outlet large enough for groups?

The outlet is a moderate-sized restaurant within a mall, with seating for approximately 40–60 people. For groups larger than 10, peak hours (12–2 PM and 6–8 PM) can mean wait times. The Kallang Wave Mall directory suggests takeaway or delivery for large groups during events at the Sports Hub.

For a Sports Hub visitor on a tight schedule, the choice at Popeyes Kallang Wave Mall is clear: order in-store to get the Power Mix & Match deal at S$9.50, arrive before 8 PM to avoid last call, and skip the delivery surcharge unless you’re already inside the stadium. Anyone relying on Foodpanda will pay a 38% premium for the same chicken.
