Friday, September 21, 2012

Bo South Tennessee will be opening its eighth Bojangles’ location in Chattanooga, at 7987 E. Brainerd Road, on Tuesday. Bojangles’ has more than 525 locations.

The new Bojangles’ features drive-thru and in-store dining beginning with breakfast and continuing through dinner late into the evening. Spanning more than 3,808 square feet, the location carries on the Bojangles’ warm, family-friendly tradition in a spacious environment.

“We are thrilled to open a new restaurant in Chattanooga and to offer a dining experience unlike any other restaurant in the quick-serve chicken category,” said Don Jones, owner of Chattanooga-based Bo South Tennessee, Inc. “In addition to serving Bojangles’ distinctive array of chicken dishes, fresh buttermilk biscuits and fixin’s, our service standards will win over our guests from the moment they walk in the store or visit our drive-thru.”

Chattanooga’s Bojangles’ can seat up to 78 guests and offers free Wi-Fi as well as two flat screen televisions. The unique interior and exterior design enhancements reflect Bojangles’ shift towards fast casual dining, blending quick-service with a casual dining atmosphere. Plus, at the drive-thru, Bojangles’ is setting the industry standard, turning orders routinely in less than a minute, officials said.

“Bojangles’ is a strong franchise system, and we are proud to represent the brand in local communities throughout the region,” said Mr. Jones. “Each new restaurant we open not only gives our loyal fans a great meal option, but also affects the community’s local economic landscape through job creation and construction projects. We look forward to continuing to make a positive mark everywhere we go.”

Bojangles’ attracts customers with its proprietary, made-from-scratch fare, offering a flavor profile unlike anything in the market. Meal options are available all day, including breakfast. More than 45 local residents are employed at the new Chattanooga restaurant.

Hours of operation in Chattanooga are from 5 a.m.-10:30 p.m. seven days a week. For more information or to contact Bojangles’ in Chattanooga, call 423 531-0062.
