AFC Enterprises, the franchisor and operator of about 2,000 Popeyes restaurants, has signed a lease for a new corporate headquarters in Dunwoody. The company's lease on its current building expires later this year, and Popeyes expects to move in the last three months of the year.

The new headquarters is at The Terraces North at 400 Perimeter Center Terrace, where the company will occupy approximately 55,000 square feet of Class A office space.

"It was important to us to select a location with a wealth of amenities for our team members, franchisees and our many visitors and business associates," said Cheryl A. Bachelder, president and chief executive officer. "Dunwoody provided the perfect solution for our needs."
