What are the common construction materials for Bojangles restaurant buildings?

According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, standard restaurant buildings are generally constructed using wood or metal studs, along with brick and stucco. These restaurants are typically free-standing structures located in urban or suburban areas, with easy access to major traffic routes, to capitalize on Bojangles' breakfast business. The standard building plans range from 2,500 to 3,200 square feet, although Bojangles may permit sizes ranging from 1,400 to 3,900 square feet on a case-by-case basis.

Prospective franchisees should note that they are responsible for hiring a licensed architect, approved by Bojangles, to adapt the standard building plans for local use and to obtain the necessary architectural seals and signatures. Bojangles may also allow non-standard conversions of existing buildings, such as those in shopping centers, in-line locations, food courts, shopping malls, or convenience stores, subject to the approval of detailed conversion plans.

In addition to the standard restaurants, Bojangles also offers a smaller format known as the "Bojangles Express Restaurant," which is typically located within or attached to other structures like convenience stores, shopping malls, or airports. These express locations range in size from 800 to 3,800 square feet and may have a limited menu compared to the full-size restaurants. Franchisees considering a Bojangles Express Restaurant should be aware that they are responsible for developing architectural plans, subject to Bojangles' approval, as the franchisor does not provide architecturally prepared plans for these locations.
