(La Porte, IN) - The city of La Porte is getting a new fast food restaurant.  Popeyes is going where the fire station is on Indiana 2 in front of Walmart on the city’s east side.  The fire station will be torn down once construction of the new fire station for that area of the city is finished on Daytona Street.

Popeyes is seeking a zoning variance to construct another chain restaurant at that location.  City attorney Nick Otis told the Board of Public Works and Safety the request for a variance will go before the city’s Board of Zoning for consideration.

The owner of Popeyes brought the old fire station property from the city for over $500,000.
