Fried chicken chain Bojangles plans to open its first two Texas restaurants in Frisco, according to a company spokesperson.

“We are ecstatic about bringing Bojangles to Texas,” Senior Director of Communications Stacey McCray said.

Bojangles' first location in the state will be located at 1631 US 380, Frisco, according to McCray. The location is slated to open by the end of the year in the Frisco Crossing development on US 380. Bojangles joins restaurants, such as Chipotle, Torchy’s Tacos and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, in the development, according to a flier from Venture Commercial, the real estate broker for the property.

The second location in Texas will be located at 2821 Eldorado Parkway, Frisco. The location is slated to open in early 2023 in West Frisco, according to McCray. According to a permit registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, construction of the restaurant will cost approximately $900,000 and will be 2,989 square feet.

Both stores will be new construction and will be a similar design to a recently opened store in Kannapolis, North Carolina, according to McCray. Bojangles also plans to expand to other DFW communities.

“We do have plans for additional locations in the DFW area, but specifics have not been finalized yet,” McCray said. www.bojangles.com
