YONKERS - A new Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is coming to Central Park Avenue.

The new Popeyes will open at 1753-89 Central Park Ave. in the Highridge Plaza next to the Hmart supermarket. The location was formerly a McDonald's that closed earlier this year.

The restaurant is currently undergoing a renovation and a Popeyes sign stating that the restaurant is coming soon has been placed in the window.

The Central Park Avenue location is the second Popeyes restaurant in Yonkers. The other is at 53 S. Broadway downtown.

The new Popeyes is the second new restaurant for the Highridge Plaza. Last month the Florida-based chain Woody's Bar-B-Q opened there.
