The Bruster’s Ice Cream parlor employs 16 and has a reported revenue for 2020 of $302,275, but On October 12, 2020, the Peachtree City Planning Commission unanimously approved the plans for the Popeye’s restaurant that will replace the beloved Bruster’s Ice Cream at 103 Lexington Circle.

On October 12, 2020, the Peachtree City Planning Commission unanimously approved the plans for the Popeye’s restaurant that will replace the beloved Bruster’s Ice Cream at 103 Lexington Circle.

The drive-in with outdoor seating where families and friends have enjoyed good weather and ice cream for 8 years is in jeopardy. Popeye’s, a 48-year-old fast-food chain, got permission to buy the storefront and replace the only Bruster’s Ice cream in Peachtree City. “Yes I’ve heard of all of this, but we don’t have information on that,” the manager said.
Along with residents in Peachtree City, the manager at Bruster’s Ice cream read about the plans for the Popeyes to replace Bruster’s Ice Cream in the Citizen, a local newspaper. “So, yes I did see the article in the newspaper and all that, but we don’t know because they’ve had this going on for the last couple of years now, with different companies,” The manager said.
The Bruster’s Ice Cream parlor employs 16 and a reported revenue for 2020 of $302,275. “As far as the employees here… we don’t know. We’ve just been getting calls about this going to be a Popeye’s, but we don’t know, we’ve not been told by the owner.”
With the nearest Bruster’s Ice Cream parlor 10.4 miles to the east of Peachtree City in Newnan Georgia or 16.1 miles in Fayetteville Georgia, residents will have to make the trek to enjoy a choice of the 24 flavors offered. Many were disappointed to learn of its closing. It was best put in words by Levi, a patron of the Ice Cream parlor, “Breuster’s is closing? That’s terrible!”
How terrible news, I always wanted to try brusters, oh well I guess I have to go to newland. Thanks to this reporter to informing us about this tradgey.

Brusters is better
Brusters is my favorite ice cream place.
I would rather have popeyes than brusters, but I will miss their delicious ice cream.
I’ve always liked brusters and it is sad to hear that it is most likely going away.
I’ve always liked Brusters but that always a good thing to have a change so I would like to have chicken over Brusters.

I personally think Brusters is better than Popeyes, the opportunity to taste all those different flavors of chicken is way better than chicken you could get from any where else.
There are already many food places in Peachtree City. Therefore, I believe it’s sad that one of the only ice cream places here is getting replaced.
I prefer Ice cream.
Brusters is turning into a Popeye’s but the Brusters manager said that this has been happening for a couple of years with different companies. The Popeye’s owner however hasn’t said anything.
