'Popeyes' opens restaurant
Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken
has opened the firs t o f tw elve
restaurants in the Portland area at
3120 N .E . Union.
And Popeyes Portland area fran­
chisee D ave S tu ard says the
restaurant specializes in almost in­
stant service and an always fresh pro­
duct.
" T h e combination o f speed and
freshness is a tra d e m a rk
of
Popeyes,” says Stuard.
He says the successful system is the
result o f two ingredients:
" F irs t, if our fried chicken has
been cooked and out for more than
45 minutes, we won’t serve it to our
customers. This guarantees fresh­
ness,” Stuard says.
Second, speed is accomplished by
hiring the largest serving crew o f any
so-called “ fast fo o d ” restauran t
chain.
Stuard says the Union and Monroe
store has 63 people, many local high
school students, to make sure the ser­
vice remains as fast as advertised.
Popeyes w on't compromise qua­
lity just for speed, however.
" W e have special recipes, some o f
them are complicated. But because
we’re cooking right on the spot, and
because we have more people serv­
ing, the end result is super food,
super fast,” he says.
The speed is quite apparent at the
drive-up window.
“ W e aim to have an order ready
less than a minute after it is given.
By the time the customer drives the
few feet from the order microphone
to the pick-up w indow , his order
should be ready,” Stuard says.
He says the drive-up window is an
im p o rta n t fe a tu re w ith m an y
Popeyes stores doing h alf their total
business that way.
A no th er feature is the "special
seasoning and b atters w hich we
believe give our products a delicious
flavor not found elsewhere.”
Recipes, o f course, are secret,
Stuard says with a smile.
Popeyes dinners com e in tw o ,
three or four piece orders and the
price includes french fries or a rice
dressing.
The menu also includes chicken
tacos, a stuffed shrimp dinner, cole
slaw, barbecue beans, corn on the
cob, apple pies, puddings, corn dogs
and “ the w o rld ’ s m ost delicious
onion rings,” according to Stuard.
Chicken also comes in different
bucket sizes.
Popeyes, founded in 1972 by A .
Copeland Enterprises, Inc., New O r­
leans, is a national fast food system.

DANCING WITH THE DELTA SORORITY
The Delta Sorority has become a Black institution since its inception in 1913
by a group o f conscious Black women who were students at Howard Univer­
sity. A t this time many are alive and still active today. The women settled on
five objectives to gage their Sorority’s progressive movements. They are: men­
tal health, education, economics, housing and social action.
One can only marvel and admire the continued success o f the Delta Sorority
after 66 years o f development. From this began a small group o f idealistic
Black women who had the courage and perception to “ do something about it”
regardless o f the opposition encountered along the way. The Sorority now has a
membership in excess o f 65,000 with 400 Chapters throughout the world.
The Portland Chapter has over 70 members and is still growing! The Delta
Chapter in Portland continually strives to enhance the communities that they’ re
involved in.
For example, on M ay 19th the Delta’ s will be sponsoring an affair to raise
funds for their scholarship fund. They will be recognizing local Black women
o f achievement with internationally known Black poet N ik i Guivannii as the
guest speaker. A n evening I ’m certainly looking forward to!
This past weekend the Delta’s held their first dance o f the year, “ Dancing
With Delta,” it was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Lloyd Center. Judging from the
warm and friendly atmosphere o f the people in attendance it could have been
billed — “ Long Tim e No See.” The a ffa ir drew people from all over Oregon
and Washington. It was obviously well organized from start to finish. Donny
A dair was there spinning the latest in disco music.
The only negative reaction to the a ffa ir was that the dance ended too soon.
Providing you want to look at that as being negative. Either way you look at it,
the dance was a social success. Leading the D e lta ’s is M arian G ilm ore,
President; Barbara Friday, Vice President; Delores Lainer, Recording Secre­
tary; Evelyn Harris, Financial Secretary; Lillian Cunninghan, Correspond­
ing Secretary; and Laura Glauson, Treasurer. Thank you ladies for a very en­
joyable evening o f fellowship and fun.
CHECK IT OUTII
A special thanks to L olita Darby for the invitation and warm hospitality she
is so aptly noted fo r. I ’d also like to thank June Key for the biographical in­
form ation on the Delta Sorority.
