New York City — Bojangles has signed a franchise agreement to open 20 new units in New York City. Restaurant owner and operator Habib Hashimi of Hashimi Holding Corp. will bring the fast-food concept to the city over the next decade, after a nearly 40-year absence. Construction is underway with Bojangles’ first location in NYC in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, which is anticipated to open this winter.
As part of Bojangles’ broader expansion across the New York metro area, the company also recently signed an agreement with a franchisee to develop 35 additional locations throughout New Jersey.
Founded in 1977, Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bojangles operates a network of 827 restaurants across 17 states, comprising 266 company-owned and 561 franchised locations.
