Popeyes opens
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is open for business.
Construction plans for the drive-thru restaurant were approved by the Mount Pleasant planning commission in early April.
Popeyes offers a variety of chicken-centered dishes and seafood, including sandwiches and wraps, tenders, popcorn shrimp and cajun fish, as well as sides, deserts and a “Live Well” menu featuring items that are 350 calories or under.
According to the Popeyes website, the first restaurant was opened in a New Orleans suburb in 1972 with a focus on serving traditional, Southern fried chicken. The Mount Pleasant location has a maximum seating capacity of 25 people, but the line of poultry-lovers stretched far beyond on Sunday.
