Love That Chicken From Popeyes! Oneida Restaurant Sets Grand Opening
Another Popeyes is opening in Central New York in less than a week.
The new fast food restaurant replaces the old Pizza Hut building on Genesee Street in Oneida, which sat empty and was fenced off for quite some time. Former Oneida City Clerk, Susan Tiffin Pulverenti broke the news last summer. "Popeyes is going into where the old Pizza Hut is located."
Oneida Grand Opening
Plans were to originally open the newest Popeyes at 204 Genesee Street in Oneida, New York by August. But summer came and went and construction continued.
After a four-month delay, the grand opening has finally been set for Monday, December 5. Doors will open at 10 AM.
