“Get ready, Texans, because our delicious chicken and biscuits are headed your way, and we can’t wait to serve you up some real deal, Southern flavor like only Bojangles does,” Bojangles Chief Growth Officer Jose Costa said in a statement. “We’re proud to be working alongside two experienced, multi-unit operators in LASH Foods and SAT Restaurant Group to make the move to Texas, and we look forward to the great successes that will come from those partnerships.”
The company also signed a franchise agreement with Khalid Siddiqui of LASH Foods LLC to open three locations in the Houston market, according to the release.
