Chicken lovers, take notice: a Popeyes restaurant may be coming to Richland.
Paperwork has been filed under the State Environmental Policy Act, or SEPA, for a 2,333-square-foot restaurant at 3160 Duportail St.
The fast-food restaurant would sit on what’s now a roughly 1-acre undeveloped parcel between Yakima Federal Savings and Loan Association and a building that’s home to Tri-City Orthodontics, Columbia Point Eyecare and more.
The land is owned by the Vancouver, Washington-based Ambrosia QSR Chicken, LLC.
Popeyes Louisiana Chicken couldn’t immediately be reached about its Richland plans.
Two other Popeyes currently are operating in the Tri-Cities, including at 5814 N. Road 68 in Pasco and 240 N. Ely St., Kennewick.
Popeyes features a New Orleans style menu that includes spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp and more.
