Popeye’s will open second Vicksburg location

To the surprise of no one, Popeye’s will open a second location on Clay Street.

The new Popeye’s Chicken will sit right next to KFC and in the exact spot where the Pizza Hut stood for many years. Pizza Hut closed that location a couple of years ago and moved to a ‘To-Go” facility farther East on Clay Street.

The remnants of the Pizza Hut are but a memory now.

Popeye’s Chicken currently operates a store on Pemberton Boulevard. There are no plans to close that store.

Demolition of the Pizza Hut building was completed earlier this week, and the land is now being worked to prepare for the construction of the new Popeye’s.
