A new Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant is under construction at 1488 Wilshire Blvd in Burleson, Texas. The project involves the new construction of a 2,536 sq ft facility, with an estimated cost of $1,473,182. This translates to a cost of $581 per square foot for the build. The owner of record is 1488 SW Wilshire BLVD LLC, and the work is privately funded on private land.

The project was registered with TDLR in July 2026. Plan review is pending, and construction is targeted for December 2026. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Candice Ruth Fleming-adams. Richard Alan Popham is listed as the design firm of record.

Construction Timeline and Scope

Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026, following the July registration. The filing indicates a build window of 102 days, which is shorter than the county median of 222 days for similar new construction projects. The scope of work is strictly defined as the new construction of the restaurant space. No existing structures are being renovated; this is a ground-up build for the specific square footage listed.

The estimated cost of $1,473,182 is above the county median of $750,000 for new construction filings in Johnson County. The $581 per square foot cost is also above the county median of $132 per square foot. These figures reflect the specific scope and location of this private development. The project is distinct from other filings by the same design firm, such as Crossroads District in Temple and Berry Creek Village in North Richland Hills, both of which have completed review.
