Bojangles is entering an exciting new chapter in its national expansion, one that brings our bold Southern flavor to one of the most iconic cities in the world: New York. With a recently signed 20-unit development deal, this move represents a major step forward in our goal of bringing Bojangles to more communities across the country.

Breaking Into a Major Market

The New York market is known for its fast pace, rich culinary culture and competitive restaurant landscape, an ideal space for the Bojangles brand as we continue to grow our presence across the country. From Brooklyn to the Bronx, the opportunity to introduce our signature chicken, biscuits and breakfast to millions of new guests is both thrilling and strategic.

The development agreement marks the official entrance of Bojangles into New York with 20 planned locations over the next decade. The first is already expected to open by the end of this year, laying the foundation for our presence in the dynamic food market.

Why NYC is the Right Fit for Bojangles

New York offers unmatched foot traffic, dense urban neighborhoods and a customer base that craves quality, convenience and flavor — all areas where Bojangles delivers. Our menu of craveable Southern classics stands out in the chicken and breakfast industry, offering something unique for both locals and tourists who value authenticity and comfort.

Urban spaces like the New York market also benefit from our flexible restaurant formats. Whether in-line, endcap or freestanding, our modern prototypes are designed for scalability and efficient operations, which is a major advantage in a high-cost, high-traffic environment like NYC.

This New York agreement is just one of several exciting developments fueling Bojangles’ national expansion. In recent months, we’ve celebrated new restaurant openings in major markets such as Las Vegas, NV; Houston, TX; Pueblo, CO and Piscataway, NJ. In addition to recent openings, we are growing our footprint in the Midwest with a 3-unit deal in Dayton, Ohio.

Together, these developments demonstrate our momentum and the demand for our unique place in the chicken and breakfast industry. Whether it is through openings in major metropolitan areas or development deals in new markets, Bojangles is growing with purpose. And the momentum is only getting stronger.
