The report named the corner of the South First Street corridor the filing points to. No opening date was given. Yakima Herald-Republic

Yakima issued the building permit

Yakima logged a permit application for a new drive-thru Popeyes

How do you know before Popeyes announces it?
A new location leaves a paper trail before opening day: building and electrical permits for the build-out, a business license, health inspections, and for bars a liquor application. We read those public records every day and list each filing with its own date, next to what the company has said publicly. Every date on the timeline is the date on the filing or statement itself, never the day we looked. The "Checked" line is the one exception: it says when we last looked, so a page with no new filing still tells you we did.
