This Week’s Grand Opening in West Virginia,
Coupled with New Franchise Agreement Part of Aggressive
Southeastern Growth Strategy
Bojangles’, Inc. (NASDAQ:BOJA) the popular Southeast restaurant
chain known for its uniquely-seasoned and marinated chicken,
made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, and breakfast served all
day, every day, will grow the brand in West Virginia and Kentucky
over the next several years.
A new West Virginia Bojangles’ opened Monday, July 6 at 701
Oakdale Road in Princeton. The new franchised Bojangles’ is part of
a development agreement that is intended to bring multiple new
Bojangles’ restaurants to the state over the next several
years.
The company has also signed a new multi-unit development
agreement with a separate franchise group that is intended to bring
multiple additional restaurants to major markets in West Virginia
and Kentucky, starting as early as 2015. Two Bojangles’ restaurants
are currently open in the state of Kentucky – one in London and the
second in Franklin. A new Bojangles’ is slated to open in August in
Corbin.
As of March 29, 2015 the chain has 635 restaurants primarily in
the Southeast, with 377 of those franchised. The new restaurants
throughout Kentucky and West Virginia are part of Bojangles’
strategic growth plan. The brand intends to open between 50 to 57
new restaurant locations system-wide in 2015.
“Bojangles’ has a fiercely loyal customer following throughout
the Southeast, and we are excited to expand our footprint in both
West Virginia and Kentucky to bring more of our famous
made-from-scratch menu items to new markets and new guests,” said
Bojangles’ CEO Clifton Rutledge.
