Congratulations to our #bofanatics Instagram Photo Contest Winners!  

Grand Prize Winner - $100 Bojangles' Gift Card - Brandon Firestine ​

He says,​​ "The picture is my 12-year old son, TJ.  His nickname is actually “BoRound” and at the Canton, NC Bojangles, they know his standard order before he even gets to the register.  He is probably the biggest BoRound fan that you have. You just made his day."
The three runner-ups pictured above received an 8 Piece Tailgate voucher. We would like to thank all who participated in our contest.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE! Where will we go next!

We Don't Care How You Get Here, As Long As You Get Here!

Picture
Sometimes you're just hungry.  You hear that belly growling and you know It's Bo Time! So you stop what your doing and head over to Bojangles' for some FAMOUS CHICKEN & BISCUITS.  We don't care how you get here, as long as you get here.  So hop on the tractor, donkey, bicycle, horse...or the simple car, truck, or SUV...and come on down to Bojangles'.

Earn That Paycheck!

During our Pendleton, SC opening on Friday February 7, Megan Hicks, our Payroll lady, decided to learn what it takes to work at Bojangles'.  She helped clean the dining room, mingled with guests, gave our Prize Wheel a few spins, and even learned to make our famous Bojangles' Biscuits. 

Megan has never worked in a Bojangles' restaurant before, but she caught on quickly! She liked making biscuits so much, she made two pans! They looked pretty good too, for a beginner.  Look Out, Master Biscuit Makers!

We told her we could open up a spot for her making those delicious biscuits.  She quickly shut us down saying, "I will let these great crew members keep up the good work.  I will just keep sending them their paychecks." 




Meet Our Director of Operations!

He works harder than anyone in our Franchise.  He knows everything there is to know about Bojangles'.  He starts his day before the sun, and doesn't stop until it goes down. His wife is a special kind of woman to love a hard worker such as Johnny Caldwell.

Aside from our President, Jeff Rigsby, Johnny is a key part in making the BOJ of WNC world turn.  You won't see him much working the counter or the drive thru, but behind the scenes he makes sure everyone has what they need and always plans 10 steps ahead.  With 34 restaurants, we keep him on his toes.

Next time you go to show your appreciation to your local Bojangles' crew, remember the 'Guys Behind The Scenes'.  There is a lot that goes into making Bojangles' the Best Quick Serve Restaurant in the Southeast.
