The latest on Bojangles'
The franchise owner of several local Bojangles’ restaurants told me recently that his newest location will open in a few weeks.
Bojangles’ now has gone up on Peters Creek Road in Roanoke. The parking lot is the final detail to be completed, said Stan Seymour, the franchise owner. He’s also in the process of hiring employees. The fast food restaurant is several weeks away from opening, he said.
But his other planned Bojangles’ location, set for Colonial and Brambleton avenues in Roanoke County, isn't moving as quickly. Seymour said construction should begin in the next several weeks, though the last time I caught up with him, he was hoping that the restaurant would be open by August. He has run into some challenges developing this site, which are reasons for the many delays.
Seymour now says that this new Bojangles’ will be larger than he expected, measuring 4,800 square feet.
He owns three Roanoke area Bojangles’ franchises.

J. HaythWhy does he not consider the Route 460/Bonsack area? It would be a great location.

Don EvansBojangles' info? Would like to think that we are a little more cosmopolitan than that.

RichDon't get me wrong...Bojangles is good...but a Popeye's would be a very welcome change of pace.

SteveApparently there's still going to be plenty of opportunity for increased accidents and traffic tie-ups at the entrance to Kroger near Brambleton Ave. & Colonial Avenue! This is just the beginning of a bad idea.

GregYep it opened Friday the 22nd. We ate there on Saturday and the view from the restaurant is really nice. Food was great and the sweet tea was awesome. They have had a steady flow of cars in and out everyday since they opened.

JennyMike D and Greg, Glad to hear that Bojangles' finally has opened. I assume you're talking about the one on Peters Creek Road. Thanks for updating us on it. It sounds like that location will be a good one.
