C&M Foods Group has entered the Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen franchise system<\/a> by acquiring 14 restaurants from GPS Hospitality Ventures, a multi-brand operator that has been selling off assets after its bondholders took control of the company in mid-2026 following a prolonged debt crisis. The deal adds another buyer to a Popeyes system that has seen significant franchisee<\/a> turnover this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The transaction was reported by Franchise Times on September 8, 2026. Unbridled Capital<\/strong> served as sell-side adviser to GPS Hospitality Ventures<\/strong>. Financial terms were not disclosed. C&M Foods Group enters the Popeyes system as a new operator, absorbing a Georgia-based portfolio from one of the more prominent franchisee groups to have fallen into financial distress in the quick-service restaurant sector in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n
