Swapping Ice Cream for Chicken
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.

this was a very informative article, i personally love brusters but i definitely will not miss it because popeyes is delicious.

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.
I love to go to Brusters in the summer so it’s so sad to hear that it won’t be there anymore. It is one of the only ice cream shops in PTC so I don’t think they should take it down.
That was the place my mom took me to get ice cream after school! I saw that it’s closed for renovations, but being replaced isn’t cool!
I perfer Bruster over Popeye”s, but I love Ice cream. I have not tried Popeye’s before, so I can not say to much about it. Also, that is so sad to see Brusters get replaced.
It would be nice to have a Popeyes, but I would rather have Brusters. The other Brusters is too far away, so when it’s replaced I’ll have to go somewhere else . I hope they’ll open a new Brusters nearby.
My family and I would always go to Brusters after school on Wednesdays. It’s sad that they are taking it down, but chicken is also a good food to have. I personally prefer ice cream over chicken; however, it’s the city’s decision and I think we should respect that.
It’s very upsetting to hear that Brusters is closing, but I’m excited to go to the new Popeyes. I wish they could find another place for Popeyes, so Brusters could stay open. All of the other Brusters in Georgia are miles away.
Popeye’s might be replacing Brusters. Many people rather have Popeye’s than Brusters, but in my opinion, I would rather have an ice cream place there. The ice cream place that is being replaced has only been around for 8 years, and Popeye’s food chain has been around for 48 years.
Bruster’s getting closed is really sad; I’ve only ate ice cream once there. I was going to go there with some friends this year, but since its getting replaced I guess I can’t go now. I wish I could still go to Buster’s to eat ice cream with my friends.
We could do something to stop them taking brusters down
My brother had to quit because brusters is shutting down. 🙁
and Popeyes sucks.
