Burger King reports positive same-store sales following a massive customer outreach initiative, while sibling brand Popeyes saw its weakest quarterly performance in nearly 20 years.

Popeyes is focusing on operational execution and core menu value to reverse five consecutive quarters of negative same-store sales as competition in the chicken category intensifies.
