WARSAW — Construction of a new Popeyes restaurant in Warsaw could be complete by this fall.
“Normally, these things take 3-4 months,” KPS Commercial Construction Project Manager Steve Read told InkFreeNews on Tuesday, May 25.
The 2,500-square-foot building will be at the site of the former Schoop’s at 3501 Lake City Highway.
The old Schoop’s building was torn down this week. Read said the new building won’t be located exactly in the same spot on the property where the previous building was.
The Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals approved several variances for Popeyes at its meeting in October.
