Work is ramping up to open Gedling borough’s latest restaurant and drive-thru, American fried chicken chain Popeye’s.
Visible progress can be seen on the land off Magenta Way, with site construction work continuing at pace.
Workers within the site could be seen over the past few days preparing the framework for the new building exterior.
The opening date hasn’t been confirmed yet.
When it opens, chicken fans will get to experience Popeyes’ world-famous ‘shatter crunch’, the iconic Popeyes Chicken Sandwich and original Southern biscuits and gravy.
Gedling Eye has contacted Popeye’s UK for more information but has not yet received a response.
The new 2,500 sq ft restaurant will now be built containing a 65-seating area, drive-thru, car-parking and click-and-collect bays.
The restaurant chain has said the new drive-thru will create up to 100 new jobs.
The application was approved back in December 2023, although concerns were raised by councillors and residents about potential littering.
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK, said: “It’s great to see how enthusiastically the UK has welcomed Popeyes, and we’re particularly proud to be opening our first drive-thru locations. Following the success of our Upper Parliament Street restaurant which landed in Autumn 2022, opening a drive-thru location locally was an obvious choice for us.
“We’re looking forward to expanding our offering in Nottingham.”
That’s all Netherfield needs, a drive thru fast Spinach outlet
waysted here it should be put in Arnold as that is our capital and biggest town and would have more customers their.
