Earlier this month, Dunedin City Council planners approved a non-notified resource consent from Ironside Properties Limited for the drive-through restaurant. Plans on the Dunedin application were labelled "new Popeyes store for Tahua Partners Ltd". Last month, United Arab Emirates restaurant chain Chicking announced plans to open two Dunedin stores — in Andersons Bay Rd and George St — later this year.
