Gills Gilkerson completes construction of Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen in Millsboro

Construction management firm Gillis Gilkerson announced the completion of the new Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen on Commerce Drive in Peninsula Crossing Shopping Center in Millsboro.

The 2,800-square-foot fast food restaurant was a new construction project for Gillis Gilkerson. The interior décor and style are modeled after New Orleans, and the chain offers quick service and seating, accommodating 65 customers. Owner Mike Abercrombie from CATO Oil LLC is a repeat customer of Gillis Gilkerson after the company built 52nd St. Assawoman Ale Shoppe in Ocean City, Md., and completed several other renovations to other existing Popeye’s, Goose Creek and Subway stores across Delmarva.

“We are committed to building strong relationships with every one of our customers,” said Dwight Miller, president, Gillis Gilkerson. “When a repeat client continues to bring us new projects that relationship very quickly turns into a partnership. It gives Gillis Gilkerson the opportunity to showcase different expertise and talents in the construction management business. We were happy we could again fulfill Mike’s vision for the new Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen in a different market and help him grow his business.”

“Gillis Gilkerson is always a pleasure to work with,” said Michael Abercrombie, Popeye's owner. “They assisted with the permitting process from the beginning and have a great reputation for being on time and on budget while delivering a quality product. Delaware is growing, and Route 113 is a hot spot making Millsboro the crossroads of Delmarva. We are excited to build a new business for locals and travelers alike.” 

Project Manager Matt Esham and Superintendent Mike Hillman finished the project less than a month ago, and Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen is open for business.
