Grabbing a kolache on Jefferson Highway might take a little longer than originally announced.
Will Edwards, owner of The Kolache Kitchen, a popular breakfast eatery on Nicholson Drive, says his second location in the former Popeye’s next to the LaRouge Mart on Jefferson Highway is about 4-6 weeks away.
Edwards’ original target date was mid-March. He says the business is a couple weeks behind because the remodeling took a little longer than anticipated. Now, he’s waiting for the permits.

“We took all the Popeye’s equipment out and separated the kitchen from the service area,” Edwards says. “We did all the branding, painted the inside and outside and put new countertops inside.”
The new location is a bit smaller than the Nicholson Drive Kolache Kitchen. However, Edwards say he will utilize the drive-thru as much as possible and have two registers inside to give the business more of a to-go atmosphere. He has also started adding to his staff at the original location to make the transition go smoothly.

“It’s becoming more and more of a reality every day,” he says. “I’m getting excited about it.”
The new location will also have extended hours into the late afternoon and early evening, a full-service menu all day and a lunch menu with around 5-7 sandwich options.
