Popeyes

I have got some juicy news for Ocean County chicken lovers.

It was recently announced that two major retailers will be coming to Manahawkin. The Stafford Township Planning Board has approved applications for two new major retailers to come to Manahawkin.

The Burger King at the Lacey Mall has been closed for awhile now and there seems to be action happening at the site located along Route 9 in Lacey. As we see construction continues and the question is, is a Popeyes Restaurant coming to the Lacey Mall?

Thanks to my co-worker Justin Louis, this week we found out Lacey Township will be getting a trio of additional popular food and drink chains in the planning stages.

The Lacey Planning Board just approved Popeyes to be in the location of the old Burger King building, at the TJ Maxx Shopping Plaza, on Rt. 9 in Lacey Township.

On Tuesday I was stymied in my attempt to finally taste the now-famous Popeyes Chicken Sandwich because the Toms River location was out of buns.

I decided that I would put on my “investigative hat” to see why there was so much hype over a chicken sandwich.
