The newest Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant to come to Upstate South Carolina shut down Monday after running out of food.

A sign posted near the restaurant entrance read, "Dear Guests, We literally have no food left to serve. The City of Greer has proudly run us out. We appreciate your patronage. We are so sorry!! We will reopen Tuesday, March 26. Thank you, Popeyes."

The restaurant is located at 1109 W. Wade Hampton Blvd.

Popeyes has been popular since it opened last week. Michael Brock said he ate at the Greer location four days last week despite some long wait times.

"I have an addiction to red beans and rice," he said.

Popeyes operates about 20 stores in South Carolina, with locations in Boiling Springs and Gaffney.

In November, Popeyes District Manager Paul Marks said the company plans to expand operations extensively in the Upstate and Western North Carolina within the next three years.
