Popeyes set to open Oct. 5
Construction is nearing completion for the anticipated Popeyes at the corner of Mission and High streets.
The fast-food seafood restaurant is set to open Oct. 5 and hopes to start hiring during September.
Mount Pleasant Building Official Brian Kench said the construction is phasing into the final touches and should be completed in the near future.
The Chamber of Commerce is waiting for a phone call from D & D Construction Services to make a final inspection before the keys are handed to the business owner Phill Pruitt.
Pruitt will be getting the keys for the place from D & D Construction Services on Sept. 26. Orientation for hired workers starts right after he receives the keys.
"We will be starting on the spot interviews September 11 and will continue to do them every Wednesday and Thursday until it opens on October 5," Pruitt said.
Pruitt plans to get Popeyes connected with the community as well as Central Michigan University.
