The space will be divided to also house a Paris Baguette coffee and pastry shop, as well as a third unspecified business.
Why it matters

The details
The Popeye's will be opening in the space previously occupied by the Bonefish Grill restaurant, which closed in 2024 as part of a broader round of closures by parent company Bloomin' Brands. The Bonefish Grill had been a fixture in Secaucus for 19 years before its closure.
