Popeye's chicken sandwich is officially sold out
The company issued a statement on Tuesday that "extraordinary demand" for the sandwich made the company sold out in just two weeks since its nationwide debut on August 12.
Popeye's projected warehouse would last until the end of September but the craze, driven by social media, led to demand exceeding supply.
"As a result, Popeye's restaurants across the country are expected to sell out of Chicken Sandwich by the end of this week," the company said in a statement. Many stores have already been without the product.
Social media users did not have the news that Popeyes was sold out and replied the company with GIFs of crying faces and unbelief answers. Others said they were on their way to Chick-fil-A.
But don't worry, these Popeyes sandwiches are not gone forever.
"We, together with our suppliers, are working tirelessly to bring the new sandwich back to guests as soon as possible," Popeyes said in a statement. The company said that those who want to be notified when they return to stores should download the Popeyes app and "sign up for push notifications."
