Popeyes Receives National Recognition for Franchise Diversity Programming and Support
AFC Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFCE), the franchisor and operator of Popeyes® restaurants, today announced that it has been included among Black Enterprise Magazine’s '40 Best Franchises for African Americans'.
The honor recognizes the company's diversity programs, affordability, revenue potential and marketing/advertising support.
The honor comes at an opportune time as AFC builds upon its existing diversity efforts with an emboldened inclusion strategy, “Roadmap of Opportunity”. To provide leadership and stewardship for the program, AFC has hired Mr. Renay Winston as vice president, Human Resources.
“Both are critical to our growth and success and are key competitive advantages. We are now broadening our initiatives to encompass all of our key stakeholders: employees, franchisees, suppliers and the communities we serve.”
“Our commitment to diversity and inclusion has never wavered,” said Cheryl A. Bachelder, president and CEO. “Both are critical to our growth and success and are key competitive advantages. We are now broadening our initiatives to encompass all of our key stakeholders: employees, franchisees, suppliers and the communities we serve.
Additionally, the Company has engaged two premier diversity and inclusion consulting firms, Roosevelt Thomas Consulting & Training and Basic Diversity, Inc., to support Mr. Winston in driving the program.
