And even bigger Wisco news than A.Rogers....
When will dining rooms at Popeye's restaurants reopen? Here's what we found out.
MANITOWOC - Hungry customers have been asking: “When can I park my car and sit inside the Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen to enjoy my spicy chicken tenders, rice and beans?"
The answer? Hopefully soon, according to Marc Rodriguez, CEO of SmitCo Eateries, located in Springdale, Arizona, which owns and is building Popeye’s restaurants throughout eastern Wisconsin.
SmitCo has been on a fast track to build Popeye’s restaurants in Wisconsin. The development company signed a five-year contract a few years ago to build 15 units in the Fox River Valley area, Rodriguez said. They have locations in Manitowoc, Green Bay, Appleton and Fond du Lac, and are working with city administrators to bring stores to Oshkosh, Sheboygan and a second location in Green Bay.
The existing locations set sales records when they opened, with customers waiting in drive-through lines sometimes for hours to order a chicken sandwich. Manitowoc’s Popeye's opened in 2019 in a high-traffic area on Calumet Avenue, at the site of a former Hardee’s fast-food restaurant.
Popeyes has other locations in Wisconsin, including in Milwaukee, Racine, Janesville, Wauwatosa, DeForest and Fitchburg.
