A Popeyes Coming To Woodbridge ShopRite Complex

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Do you like fried chicken? A Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen will be coming to St. Georges Crossing in Woodbridge.

This is the shopping complex where the Woodbridge ShopRite is located, at the intersection of heavily traveled Rts. 1 and 9 and Rt. 35.

Popeyes will share a newly redeveloped, free-standing former restaurant building with a Xfinity store, which Comcast opened at St. Georges Crossing last year. Popeyes just signed the lease, so it is still too early for a projected opening date.

The ShopRite/St. Georges Crossing’s complex currently has a P.C. Richard & Son, T.J.Maxx, West Marine, Blu alehouse, PetSmart, AutoZone, Verizon Wireless, House of Wine & Liquor, European Wax Center, Visionworks, Taco Bell and GameStop, among others.

“This well-established Popeyes franchisee was drawn to the local market’s proven history of successful quick-service and fast-casual restaurants,” said LMC Leasing Representative E.J. Moawad. “St. Georges Crossing, with its prime location, exposure and excellent demographics, is a terrific fit within this context. Popeyes’ menu has wide appeal, and we are excited to expand the property’s dining options with the addition of this nationally recognized chain.”

More than 81,500 vehicles per day pass St. Georges Crossing along Rt. 1.
