Bojangles makes no bones about its future​

Bojangles is ditching the bones, at least in newer markets.

The Charlotte-based chicken chain, which has made its living specializing in bone-in chicken, is planning to expand in new markets with a menu pared down to its breakfast and boneless options, the better to take advantage of shifting consumer demands.

Jose Armario, CEO of the 800-unit chain, said on this week’s episode of the A Deeper Dive podcast that the company has been testing a smaller menu featuring its breakfast, chicken sandwiches and chicken fingers, but not the bone-in chicken for which it’s known.

Bojangles makes no bones about its future

The traditional bone-in chicken chain is testing restaurants with menus pared down to its breakfast and boneless options. That’s the menu

Hoping the new restaurants opening in Ohio aren't following this new "rule".

We go to Bojangles every couple of years and look forward to it on our trips down South. Love their chicken and fries. I've tried their tenders and was not impressed at all. Probably would never go there if that is all that is on the menu. Anyone on here close to the people building the Ohio Bojangles? Any idea if they are going to have real chicken at these restaurants?
 
 
I love bojangles. Their sweet tea and dirty rice are both perfect. Their chicken is great and cheap. Honestly the only non national chain I like more would be Lee's. Less salty tasting and less greasy than KFC. Popeyes is decent but so many times way too crispy for my liking.

Champs (found mostly at gas stations) and Church's (keep in the south) are both great for chicken but not much else.

Chester's is garbage. Krispy Krunchy was great when it started years ago but like Hunt Bros Pizza, going the "anyone can run one" route has made quality so bad or inconsistent that it's not worth testing your luck when you see one. And lastly, Broaster Chicken is usually pretty good but for gas station fare very expensive.
 
The Bojangles in Canton is boneless chicken only. Had it tonight. It's OK but nothing special. Still like the fries. Probably won't be making too many trips down there. I would rather have Popeyes real chicken instead of tenders at Bojangles.

I only go for the fries and biscuits.
 
Laredo Taco Company that was in Stripes gas stations on Texas is expanding. 7/11 which owns the Sunoco bought Stripes and started putting LTCs in Ohio and PA.... They're garbage.

Stopped at one for breakfast down near Philadelphia and they went the kiosk route. Rather than just telling the person what and how you want it. And the biggest faux pas is they don't serve barbacoa. Not just for breakfast. But not at all. Barbacoa is what they're famous for.

If you're not going to have your whole menu, at least have the basics you're known for. I can understand not having enchiladas or lunch plates. But not your signature taco?

That and the Tacos were $2.99 or 2 for $5 for little breakfast tacos. I remember when Texans were furious the breakfast tacos went above $1 each and they're selling them for $3 to unsuspecting northerners.
