Bojangles Opens Its First Arizona Restaurant, Introducing Carolina Flavor
Bojangles, the iconic Carolina-born restaurant brand known for its bold Southern flavors, hand-breaded chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits, has officially expanded into Arizona with the opening of its first restaurant in the Phoenix designated market area (DMA). The highly anticipated location, situated at 3765 S. Val Vista Drive in Gilbert, Arizona, opened its doors to customers today at 5 a.m., introducing local guests to the brand’s signature blend of Southern hospitality and crave-worthy menu offerings.
The new Gilbert restaurant marks an important milestone in Bojangles’ ongoing growth strategy as the brand continues to bring its unique Carolina flavor to new communities across the United States. With increasing demand for its famous chicken, biscuits and breakfast menu, Bojangles has been actively expanding beyond its traditional Southeastern footprint and entering new markets nationwide.
To celebrate its Arizona debut, Bojangles created an exciting opening-day experience for local fans. Customers visiting the new Gilbert restaurant had the opportunity to participate in a special sweepstakes offering 10 lucky guests the chance to win free Bojangles breakfast for an entire year. The promotion gave winners the opportunity to enjoy their favorite breakfast items from the newest chicken destination in the Phoenix area every day for 12 months.
Adding to the excitement, the first 100 customers through the doors on opening day received a $100 Bojangles gift card. The special offer helped welcome Arizona guests and gave early visitors a chance to experience the brand’s signature menu items while celebrating the restaurant’s arrival in the community.
The Arizona opening represents another major step forward in Bojangles’ national expansion efforts. Over the past year, the restaurant chain has continued to strengthen its presence in both established and emerging markets, bringing its distinctive Southern-style food experience to new customers across the country.
Recent expansions have introduced Bojangles restaurants to several new regions, including Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Austin, Texas; Brooklyn, New York; Piscataway, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada; Columbus, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and additional locations throughout Texas, including Dallas and Houston. The brand most recently expanded with an opening in Morganville, New Jersey, further demonstrating its commitment to strategic growth.
“We are ecstatic to introduce Bojangles to the Valley of the Sun and bring our unique Southern charm to the Phoenix market,” said Jeanette Davis, Senior Vice President of LV Petroleum. “Our recent expansions into markets have been met with tremendous enthusiasm, and we are confident that the community will embrace our delicious offerings with the same excitement.”
The Gilbert restaurant opening also highlights the continued momentum behind Bojangles’ franchise development strategy. By partnering with experienced operators and expanding into high-growth markets, the brand aims to make its signature Southern menu accessible to more guests nationwide while maintaining the quality and traditions that have defined the company for decades.
Founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1977, Bojangles has built a loyal following by delivering authentic Southern comfort food with a Carolina twist. The restaurant is recognized for its famous hand-breaded chicken, freshly prepared biscuits baked from scratch throughout the day, Legendary Iced Tea®, and a variety of flavorful sides known as “fixin’s.”
Guests visiting Bojangles can enjoy popular menu favorites such as seasoned chicken meals, chicken sandwiches, breakfast platters, biscuit sandwiches and Southern-inspired sides including Cajun Pintos, Dirty Rice and Macaroni & Cheese. The brand’s breakfast offerings, available all day at many locations, have become a major part of its identity, attracting customers looking for hearty meals made with quality ingredients and traditional Southern flavors.
Beyond its food, Bojangles has long been recognized for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to hospitality. The company’s Carolina roots remain central to its identity, with each restaurant aiming to deliver the warmth, friendliness and community connection associated with Southern culture.
The arrival of Bojangles in Gilbert provides Arizona residents with a new destination for breakfast, lunch and dinner while introducing the region to flavors that have made the brand a household name throughout the South. From its famous chicken and biscuits to its signature iced tea and Southern-inspired sides, Bojangles continues to bring a taste of Carolina tradition to communities across America.
With its first Phoenix-area location now open, Bojangles is poised to build a new fan base in Arizona and continue its mission of sharing bold flavors, Southern hospitality and its legendary menu with customers nationwide.
