A closed sign is now prominently displayed at the Popeyes location along William Penn Highway in Wilkins Township. The closure comes after an inspection by health department officials raised significant concerns regarding food safety and sanitation practices at the restaurant.

Local residents were surprised to find the popular fast-food chain shuttered, as it has been a staple in the community for years. The health department's decision to close the establishment underscores the importance of maintaining strict health standards in food service operations.

Authorities have not disclosed the specific violations that led to the closure, but they emphasize that public health is a top priority. The restaurant will remain closed until all necessary improvements are made and the health department conducts a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Customers are encouraged to stay informed about the reopening status as the situation develops.
