CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bojangles is expanding its operation to the West Coast, announcing plans to open dozens of locations in southern California starting next year.
The Charlotte-based fried chicken chain says it will open 30 locations across Los Angeles County beginning over the next six years. Bojangles opened its very first location in Charlotte back in 1977 and currently has locations across 16 states.
The Los Angeles expansion will be Bojangles' first venture to the West Coast.
“From the moment I was first introduced to Bojangles, I knew immediately that this was a brand that I wanted to be a part of," franchisee Lorenzo Boucetta said. “I’ve spent several years in hospitality and real estate development, but my roots have always been ingrained in the restaurant industry. The opportunity to grow Bojangles in California presented itself at the perfect moment, and I am thrilled to bring this iconic brand to the market for the first time.”
