Popeyes, the Louisiana-style fried chicken franchise, is moving into Brighton Beach.

The new location on Brighton Beach Avenue, between Coney Island Avenue and Brighton 7th Street, is currently under construction. A peek through the brown paper coverings over the windows revealed stacks of tables and chairs among clusters of boxes inside the darkened storefront.

Popeyes did not reply to an inquiry about when the restaurant was scheduled to open. However, contractor Zeyad Farr, who is involved in renovating the property to prepare it for the new business, said the store is expected to open by the end of December.

Popeyes is among several fast food joints moving into Brighton Beach. A Wendy’s opened in August on Brighton Beach Avenue — one block away from where Popeyes is preparing to set up shop.
