Bojangles in 2025: Building Momentum with Strong Restaurant Growth

The Bojangles franchise story in 2025 is one of momentum, recognition and exciting expansion. With 25 openings year-to-date, Bojangles is on pace to open an average of one new restaurant every week for the remainder of the year. This rate of restaurant growth reflects how we are strategically building the brand’s presence while strengthening the foundation that has made it a household name.

Recognition That Reflects Performance

The strong performance in 2025 is no accident. Bojangles has a long-standing reputation for craveable chicken, scratch-made biscuits and fan-favorite breakfast that translates into consistent success for franchisees. For multi-unit operators looking to invest in their next venture, the Bojangles franchise model offers strong unit economics and a menu appealing to a wide range of guests.

Strategic restaurant growth in key markets has allowed Bojangles to balance expansion while maintaining operational excellence — a combination that fuels both short-term wins and long-term sustainability.

Taking the Stage at QSR Evolution

This September, the Bojangles team is heading to QSR Evolution, one of the leading industry events for quick-service and fast-casual brands. It’s a chance to share how the Bojangles franchise is adapting to evolving consumer preferences while scaling nationwide.

We are excited to have second-generation Bojangles franchisee, Lela Dinakaran, represent the brand at the conference. Lela oversees marketing for her family’s 46 locations in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. She brings firsthand insight into running a large multi-unit chicken franchise. We are looking forward to having her represent Bojangles.

Why Now is the Time to Join

Bojangles’ momentum is growing, with an average of one new restaurant opening per week across both new and existing markets. We are also expanding through new development agreements, including a recently signed 3-unit deal in Dayton that will strengthen our presence in the Midwest, and additional agreements in New York and New Jersey that continue to bring Bojangles to more high-traffic regions.

The combination of accelerated restaurant growth, national expansion and strong franchisee leadership makes 2025 a pivotal year for the Bojangles brand. This is an opportunity for experienced operators to partner with a brand that has decades of history and a business model built for scale.

The Bojangles franchise opportunity offers:

• A proven chicken and breakfast franchise model with broad consumer appeal.
• Flexible restaurant formats that fit diverse markets.
• Comprehensive training, marketing and operational support.
• A brand culture rooted in quality, hospitality and community connection.

For entrepreneurs, franchising with Bojangles means becoming a part of a network that supports growth and adapts to change.

As we look to the remainder of 2025, Bojangles is keeping pace with the industry and setting the tone for what’s possible in the chicken and breakfast franchise space. With a strategic focus on high-potential markets and a proven ability to execute, our restaurant growth shows no signs of slowing down.
