North Carolina-based Bojangles has opened its first location in New York City (and the state of New York) in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn.
The restaurant is part of a 20-unit deal by restaurant owner and operator Habib Hashimi and Hashimi Holding Corporation to bring Bojangles to New York City over the next 10 years.
After a brief chapter in New York City during the 1980s, the franchise agreement marked the “beginning of a new era” for Bojangles in America’s largest city.
“Opening in New York is a powerful moment for Bojangles and a meaningful step in our journey to become a truly national brand,” said Jose Armario, CEO of Bojangles, who has led the chain since 2019. “We’re excited to bring our Southern roots, bold flavours and hospitality to one of the most iconic markets in the world and to grow alongside a franchise partner who shares our vision for what Bojangles can be.”
The Brooklyn restaurant will operate for 24 hours, with the dining room closing at midnight and the drive-thru remaining open all day.
