COLUMBUS, Ohio — Bojangles officially opened in west Columbus on Tuesday.
After a long-awaited debut, the fast-food chain known for its fried chicken and biscuits opened its first Columbus-area location at 891 Hilliard-Rome Road in front of Menards.
In March 2021, Bojangles announced longtime franchisee Jeff Rigsby would open 15 locations around Columbus and 30 more restaurants over a seven-year period.
Rigsby, a Columbus native, currently operates over 90 locations in Southeast states including Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
There are more than 800 Bojangles restaurants across the country.
