Al Copeland is the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken and Copeland's of New Orleans and various other chains of restaurants around the world. His companies now employ over 50,000 people.
Copeland is a native of New Orleans. Having been poor as a child, he grew up planning his "escape from the trap". That escape started from scratch in 1972 with one small restaurant and a very big dream.
Copeland's Success:
"I started out with limited formal education, which I certainly don't recommend, but I've never allowed that to hold me back. I learned to set goals for myself and my company and to believe in my ability to achieve them."
