Bojangles’ restaurant will open in Oak Ridge on Friday, Dec. 27.
The new restaurant is at 490 S. Illinois Ave., just south of the former Dean Stallings Ford.
The company said Bojangles’ is “a Southern-style restaurant famous for serving made-from-scratch biscuits, hand-breaded chicken, and mouth-watering breakfast all day.”
Bojangles’ is offering $100 gift cards to the first 100 customers at 5 a.m. Dec. 27, and one lucky customer will win free breakfasts for a year, a press release said.
Bojangles’ is also offering a free 22 oz. Legendary Iced Tea at the drive-through window a day earlier, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 26.
“Bojangles’ is eager to open our first restaurant in Oak Ridge and introduce this community to our Southern hospitality and hand-crafted menu items,” said Bojangles’ Regional Vice President Dion Firooznia. “We encourage everyone who has never tried Bojangles’ to come out, meet our local team and taste what ‘Bo Time’ is all about.”
Bojangles’ new company-owned restaurant in Oak Ridge represents a continued economic investment in the area, the press release said. The average investment made by the company for new locations is $1.7 million, and each new store creates an average of 80-90 jobs. As part of Bojangles’ expansion in East Tennessee, Bojangles’ also opened a new restaurant in Crossville, Tenn., in December.
The Oak Ridge restaurant is more than 3,800 square feet, will seat more than 75 customers, and serve all menu items—including the breakfast—from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. seven days a week.
Bojangles’ was founded in 1977 in Charlotte, N.C. The company now has more than 550 locations in 10 states, primarily in the Southeast, and the District of Columbia as well as three international restaurants. Visit www.bojangles.com for more information.
