Popeyes opens 7th Dayton-area location, joining other new chicken restaurants

Popeyes Louisiana Chicken celebrated the grand opening of its seventh Dayton-area restaurant location this week.

The new location at 6793 Miller Lane in the Vandalia/Butler Twp. area is part of an expansion effort to build as many as five new stores per year for the next five years in the Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus markets.

Popeyes Louisiana Chicken features chicken sandwiches tenders, nuggets and much more. Customer favorite sides include homestyle mac & cheese, Cajun rice, Cajun fries, coleslaw, red beans and rice and mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy.

Here are two other chicken restaurants that recently opened in the Miami Valley:

1. Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders

Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders celebrated its grand opening in June at 9196 North Main Street in Englewood.

Franchise owner Tim Hobart says Huey Magoo’s is different from other chicken restaurants because they have breaded and grilled chicken options and 10 different sauces. The fast-casual restaurant also has sandwiches, wraps, salads and crinkle-cut fries.
