A Popeyes restaurant proposed for Route 58 just west of DMV Plaza gained final site plan approval from the Riverhead Town Planning Board on Thursday.
The approval allows the development of a 2,265 square foot fast food restaurant on a currently vacant, wooded one-acre lot at 212 Old Country Road that is zoned “Business Center.” The lot is located between DMV Plaza and Malvese Equipment.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a publicly traded company, was founded in New Orleans in 1972. It operates and franchises the “quick-service restaurants” — today numbering 2,700 worldwide, a according to the company website — that serve Louisians-style chicken and seafood.
Planning board members voted unanimously (4-0 with member George Nunnaro absent) to approve the final site plan application. The proposal gained preliminary site plan approval in May 2017.
