Popeyes has opened its Downtown Silver Spring location, according to signage in the window that was first seen yesterday (Now open 11-10pm).
We first reported back in October that Popeyes will be taking over the space that was left vacant by Bombay Gaylord in 2015 at 8401 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring. Bombay closed after a fire destroyed the restaurant and the owners have since opened Nirvana Indian Cuisine in Olney back in late 2018.
The international fried chicken chain has recently opened restaurants in Briggs Chaney and in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.
The popular Quarry House Tavern can be found in the basement the building.
9/18 Update: The Briggs Chaney Popeyes is Now Open
Back in November 2020 we let you know that Popeyes will be taking over the old Pizza Hut location in the Briggs Chaney shopping center (13886 Old Columbia Pike).
The old Pizza Hut was demolished and cleared back in March and construction on the new building started soon after. No opening date, but we would not be surprised to see an early fall opening.
The photos below, by Dave Golden (founder of the Burtonsville 2.0 Facebook page), show a lot of recent progress.
Popeyes has recently expanded within MoCo, recently opening up a location in the Kentlands and planning to open a new location in Downtown Silver Spring (construction has recently started there too).
The Briggs Chaney shopping center is an interesting selection for the fried chicken chain, as local chain Hip Hop Fish & Chicken arrived at the same shopping center over a year ago.
