Fried chicken chain Bojangles sets construction date for new North Texas restaurant
Fried chicken chain Bojangles will build and open a new North Texas location in 2025.
In August, the Mansfield City Council approved a specific use permit for a Bojangles restaurant off of the U.S. 287 Frontage Road. In late November, more details were shed on when the restaurant at 1734 N. US 287 Frontage Road will be built.
Construction on the new Bojangles will begin in January 2025 and finish by July 2025, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Construction is estimated to cost $950,000.
The north Mansfield Bojangles will be sandwiched between a Saltgrass Steak House and a RaceTrac gas station.
Bojangles has been around since 1977 and is famous for its Cajun-inspired fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits.
The North Carolina-based company was created and named by Jack Fulk after the song, “Mr. Bojangles.” While known for its bone-in chicken at their east coast eateries, Bojangles has streamlined its menu in new markets such as Texas.
This means chicken tenders are the name of the game in the Lone Star State.
Whether it’s in a combo meal, a sandwich or biscuit, boneless chicken is what patrons will find at Bojangles in Texas. Other Bojangles options include Bo-Berry biscuits, peach cobbler, salads, lemonade and milkshakes.
Bojangles previously had several locations in Texas back in the 1980s, but closed soon thereafter.
The chain replanted its flag in Texas last summer when it opened a location in Euless at 201 E. Euless Blvd. Four other locations followed suit and opened their doors last year in Frisco, Little Elm, Lancaster and Wylie.
Two more North Texas Bojangles are in the works for Bedford and south Fort Worth near Burleson.
