Bojangles shares tentative opening date for first-ever Columbus restaurant, plus the location of its second eatery

The Bojangles era is almost upon us in Columbus, and we couldn’t be more ready.

Earlier this year, 614Now reported that the first Bojangles in Columbus be located at 831 Hilliard Rome Rd., and now we have another morsel for you: A tentative opening date.

According to Bojangles Senior Director of Communications Stacey McCray, the chain’s first Columbus location is slated to open on or near May 23. While McCray noted this date has not been finalized, it gives us a better idea of when we can expect the anticipated spot to open its first local store.

Recently, longtime Bojangles franchisee Jeff Rigsby announced that he plans to bring 15 different Bojangles locations to central Ohio over a period of several years, and now we also know which location is scheduled to open after the Bojangles on Hilliard Rome Road.

According to documents filed with the city, a new Bojangles restaurant is currently being planned for 853 South 30th St. in Heath. McCray told 614Now that this location is slated to break ground soon, with a goal of opening later this year.
