Popeyes welcomed customers to its latest location at the retail hub in Renfrew from 11am on Friday.
Fans, who had queued up in anticipation of the opening, were treated to free chicken sandwiches and Popeyes merchandise.
Located in the former KFC unit in the centre’s food mall, it is the fourth Popeyes restaurant in Scotland, which is famous for its Louisiana-style chicken.
It has brought more than 100 new jobs to the local area.
Blane Jones, from Glasgow, was first in the queue and waited for hours before the shop officially opened.
He said: “I work in Braehead centre so I will definitely come here every week. This is my first time trying Popeyes in the UK and I am excited to be the first to try it today, too.”

Popeyes offers a variety of food including its iconic chicken sandwich, wings, tenders, and signature chicken wraps.
Customers can also try out the chain’s festive menu which features a superstack sandwich, sage and onion hash browns, and the Frostin’ mint shake with Oreo.
This will be available until January 6.
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK, said: “It’s great to see so many people coming out to celebrate our latest opening in Braehead.
“The appetite for our New Orleans food is still growing strong in Scotland and we’re looking forward to opening more locations across the country soon.”
