Popeyes Will Open in Central Eastside, Portland | Eater Portland
"I learned that a Central Eastside building at 1525 SE Grand Avenue, which formerly housed a Burger King and has sat vacant for years after being damaged by a June 2020 fire, will become a Popeyes restaurant in 2024. Vancouver-based franchisee Ambrosia QSR, which operates over 200 fast-food locations including Popeyes, Burger King, and Arby’s, has filed permits to operate the location, and Ambrosia CEO Luke Pisors said, "We hope to be open for business sometime in 2024, but it’s hard to be any more specific this far out." The Portland City Council restriction on new drive-thru development does not apply to this site because it has an existing drive-thru." - Janey Wong
