A National Brand, Tribally Owned and Locally Operated

As part of the continued expansion of tribally owned enterprises, the Lac du Flambeau Business Development Corporation (LDF BDC) is proud to bring a nationally recognized favorite to the Northwoods—Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Minocqua, Wisconsin.

Strategically located along the busy Hwy 51 corridor, Popeyes Minocqua brings the bold flavor of Louisiana-style fried chicken to one of the most highly trafficked tourist and local areas in northern Wisconsin. This franchise is not just a fast-food restaurant—it’s a job creator, a revenue generator, and a symbol of Tribal economic progress.

A Taste of Something Bigger

Popeyes Minocqua represents the LDF BDC’s commitment to diversifying business investments while expanding into high-demand, recognizable brand ventures that bring immediate community and regional impact. This venture supports:

  • Job creation and training opportunities for both Tribal members and the local workforce
  • New revenue streams to support Tribal programs and future business development
  • Increased visibility of Tribally owned enterprises within the broader regional economy
  • Year-round service for both residents and tourists seeking fast, high-quality meals

What to Expect

  • The Bold Flavors You Know: From the iconic chicken sandwich to crispy tenders, Cajun fries, and flaky biscuits, Popeyes Minocqua serves the full menu of fan-favorites in a newly built, modern facility.

A Win for the Community

This project is more than just bringing another restaurant to Minocqua—it’s a reflection of how Tribal business can succeed in mainstream markets, build long-term economic strength, and open doors for professional development.

The franchise was developed and launched by the BDC with careful planning, investment, and coordination, marking yet another milestone in reclaiming economic space and asserting Tribal excellence in commercial ventures.
