Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen to Open Location in Adams Morgan

A national fast food chain has plans to open a restaurant in Adams Morgan.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is “coming soon” to 1742 Columbia Road NW, according to a sign posted to the business yesterday. The chicken-centric fast food chain will occupy the space that formerly held Pollo Granjero, which quietly closed in August.

Until today, the news that a Popeyes might open in the neighborhood was merely a rumor. A PoPville reader first spotted the new sign earlier today.

It’s unclear when the chicken eatery might open, and we were unable to reach a Popeyes representative for more information. We’ll update this story if we do.
