Megan Thee Stallion, the popular rapper and girlfriend of NBA star Klay Thompson, has taken a bold step into the restaurant business. She officially opened her first Popeyes location in Miami, Florida. This move expands her financial portfolio and showcases her entrepreneurial spirit.
A High-Profile Opening in South Beach
The new Popeyes restaurant sits at 1427 Washington Avenue in the heart of South Beach. This high-traffic spot aims to attract both locals and tourists. Megan shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of the project on social media for months, building anticipation among her fans.
As one of the most successful female rap artists today, Megan brings a massive fan following to this venture. Industry observers believe her Popeyes could become a major hit given her influence and popularity.
Custom Touches and Exclusive Offerings
Megan personally curated several custom elements for the restaurant. Bold murals adorn the walls, while playful LED signage catches the eye. Staff wear Hottie-certified uniforms, and bespoke stallion tilework reflects her brand identity throughout the space.
The rapper plans to introduce an exclusive menu item called Thee Megan Meal. This special combo includes:
- A chicken sandwich
- Three-piece tenders
- Six-piece bone-in wings
- Red beans and rice
- Mac and cheese
Beyond serving food, the restaurant will support philanthropic community outreach programs. Megan wants her business to give back to the local Miami community.
Family Recipes and Home Cooking Passion
Away from business launches, Megan recently spoke about her love for cooking. In an interview with TODAY.com, she revealed how family traditions shape her culinary skills.
"You would not think that people are walking around my house asking me to make them food, but that is definitely happening to me," she said with a laugh.
Her cooking style leans Southern, featuring comfort dishes passed down through generations. She regularly prepares roast beef with potatoes, oxtails, and spaghetti for boyfriend Klay Thompson.
Guarding Family Secrets
Megan draws a clear line when it comes to sharing family recipes. "I mean, I can't just be giving out my secret recipes now. My grandma would be in an uproar, OK?" she explained. "Just know that it's packed with lots of meat, lots of vegetables."
Despite her protective stance, there is speculation that the Sweetest Pie singer might incorporate some family recipes into her Popeyes menu eventually. Her breakfast sandwich—made with bread, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, hot sauce, and mayo—has become particularly famous among her inner circle.
"It's something as basic as a breakfast sandwich," she said. "I don't know why it tastes so good."
This new Popeyes venture represents another milestone for Megan Thee Stallion's growing business empire. It combines her entrepreneurial vision with personal touches that reflect both her brand and her family heritage.
