New Bojangles opening in Troutman

Grading crews are already prepping the site for the fourth fast-food restaurant off Exit 42 in Troutman.

Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits in Charlotte plans to open a 3,800 square foot eat-in/drive thru restaurant along Charlotte Highway in Troutman sometime between May and June.

Bojangles’ Executive Vice President Eric Newman described the design and layout as the "Classic Bojangles’" with a state of the art architectural design. It will seat up to 78 people.

"Troutman is something that we’ve been looking at as a concept for a number of years," he said.

Within the Greater Charlotte Region, which is Bojangles’ home market, there are more than 130 restaurants, Newman said.

The plot the restaurant is on was originally slated to be within the Troutman Town Center with a Walmart Supercenter as its anchor store. Those plans were halted by the recession, but Bojangles was not.

Newman said the restaurant chain wasn’t slowed down by the recession, but did have to go through the process of finding a suitable location and prioritizing the project. The typical Bojangles’ restaurant costs $1.7 million to build, he said. The regional chain has around 514 locations.

"I continue to be amazed by our reach in this area," Newman said.
