What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 13 Bojangles's outlets opened in Alabama during 2024. The number of outlets at the start of the year was 21, and by the end of 2024, the number of outlets increased to 33. There was one outlet that ceased operations for other reasons during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates growth in the Alabama market. However, it's important to note that while 13 new outlets opened, one also ceased operations, so the net growth was less than the number of openings might suggest. Understanding the reasons behind the closure could be a key consideration for anyone looking to invest in that area.
It's also worth comparing these figures with previous years. In 2022, one outlet was opened, increasing the number from 19 to 20. In 2023, another outlet was opened, bringing the total to 21. The significant increase in openings during 2024 could reflect a strategic push by Bojangles to expand its presence in Alabama, or it could be due to other market factors. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons behind this growth to assess the sustainability of this trend.
