LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen opened in the Russell neighborhood.

The restaurant at Broadway and 28th Street officially opened its doors Monday. The restaurant owner said it served a record-breaking during its soft opening.

The owners, Ace Brands LLC, own other Popeyes locations in Louisville. Owner Haroon Khawaja said the company has wanted to open a restaurant in the city's west end for a while.

"This was a good location," Khawaja said. "It was an old Burger King that we took and remodeled completely. So we had our plans on this before, so hope everything works out. That's my biggest thing now."

There are eight Popeyes in the greater Louisville area, including three in southern Indiana.
