does anyone know if they might open a popeyes chicken and/or a del taco in the beaverton/hillsboro area?

Question

those are really good. it's weird how there are 2 popeyes just a few blocks away from each other on the same blvd and none in the surrounding area suburbs.

beaverton is near portland, oregon

thanks for answering so far. del taco is different franchise from taco del mar. i already know about those popeye's in portland and truck, but just curious if there will be openings in the suburbs such as beaverton.

About 20+ years ago, Popeye's first opened in Portland. There were several, the two on MLK Blvd. (which at that time was called Union Ave.) where they are now, one on 82nd Ave., and one or two others. There was even a Church's on MLK around the same time. However, apparently, most of the Portland area market wasn't ready and all but the two on MLK Blvd. closed down -including Church's Chicken- within the first couple of years (almost like what happened to Spunky's [which are now Coffee Peoples] and Hot-N-Now in slightly more recent times but even more short-lived, especially Hot-N-Now which took longer to build the restaraunts than they were able to stay open it seemed). I believe Church's closed because Popeye's had what they had + they had spicy chicken too.

Within the last 5 years or so, people outside of the neighborhood from surrounding communities are now making the commute to get them some Popeye's and the market has opened up with two additions in the NW Oregon area with one in Troutdale, and the latest one in Aurora. With that being said, I don't know when, but it is quite possible in the near future that a Popeye's franchise will open up in the Beaverton/Tigard/Hillsboro area perhaps within the next couple years.

Regarding KFC (a.k.a. Kentuky Fried Chicken), very few franchises -if any nowadays- have well-cooked food. On the few occations that I have gone to KFC because there wasn't a Popeye's nearby, I was very dissappointed in the quality of the food. Years ago, it was excellent quality, but it seems that shortly after the Colonal died, the food hasn't been the same.

I have to say too with the consistancy of the Popeye's franchise here lately (say, within the last 3 years or so) the one on Ainsworth has the best quality food. With the other franchises, especially the one nearest to Lloyd Center, you have to go when the chicken is fresh (in the middle of the lunch or dinner rush or the best time is when they first open), otherwise the food may not be any better than when I've gone to a KFC. During these times, the food tastes like it has been sitting under a heat lamp for a considerably long period of time.

The first link is a list of the Popeye's in/near Beaverton. The second is the list for Del Taco. According to Yahoo! Yellow Pages, there's a Del Taco in Beaverton.

Answer 4

They opened a Popeye's not far from my house and I had lunch there yesterday. It was the worse chicken dinner I have ever had. My advice to you is to stay away from Popeye's. If you want chicken try KFC.

Answer 5

an even better question is will Churches chicken make a come back?

Answer 6

Good question!
