A new Popeyes has opened at the Paddock Mall in Ocala.
The new location officially opened on Monday, August 5, within the mall’s food court, between Mandarin Express and Pei Wei Asian Express.
Ocala-News.com first reported that Popeyes was working on a new location within the mall in March.
The opening comes less than five months after that story was published.
The Paddock Mall location joins two other Popeyes in operation in Ocala at 3420 W Silver Springs Boulevard and 1713 S Pine Avenue.
The Popeyes on Pine Avenue reopened earlier this year after closing in 2022 due to a collapsed roof.
A fourth Popeyes is planned for east Ocala and a previous location along County Road 484 in southwest Ocala has been closed for an extended period of time.
Currently, there are no listed hours of operation for the facility on the company’s website or Google listing.
The Paddock Mall is currently open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
