The summer holidays have started… which means our Back to School campaign is now live! 
 
Whether starting from scratch or simply topping up on a few essentials, Coventry city centre has everything shoppers need to get their little (or big) ones ready for the new term.
 
Our Back to School campaign kicked off on Monday, and we need your support.
 
Please like, share, and engage with our Back to School content on social media, spreading the word and encouraging parents to use the city centre as their main shopping destination in preparation for September.
 
We're also offering parents a chance to win £250 in vouchers to put towards school uniform shopping, which will be running until Friday 21st August at 11.30pm.

city centre news
popeyes is opening this week!
We’re excited to share that Popeyes® UK is officially opening its brand-new restaurant in Coventry City Centre on Friday 24th July, with doors opening at 11 AM.
 
To celebrate the launch, the first 100 guests through our doors will receive a FREE Chicken Sandwich, along with exclusive Popeyes merchandise and other exciting giveaways on a first come, first served basis.
 
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Popeyes has been serving its world-famous Louisiana-inspired fried chicken since 1972. Renowned for our bold Cajun flavours, freshly prepared chicken, iconic Chicken Sandwich, and warm Southern hospitality, we’re proud to have become one of the UK's fastest growing and favourite chicken brands.
 
As we join the Coventry community, we’re delighted to bring our passion for great food, genuine hospitality, and vibrant culture to one of the UK's most historic and dynamic city centres. Just as New Orleans is celebrated for its rich heritage, diverse culture, music, and welcoming spirit, Coventry is known for its resilience, creativity, and thriving community. We believe this shared energy makes Coventry the perfect home for Popeyes.
 
We're proud to say that the UK's favourite chicken brand is coming to Coventry's favourite city centre, bringing a new dining experience, creating local jobs, attracting visitors, and contributing to the continued growth and vibrancy of the city centre.
We can't wait to welcome the people of Coventry through our doors on 24th July and become a valued part of the local community.
