The cult-favorite chicken chain will open its second San Antonio location at 3003 SW Military Dr. on April 21.<\/p>\n<p>The wildly popular North Carolina-based chain <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonio.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/bojangles-first-san-antonio-location\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">debuted in Alamo City<\/a> in 2023, opening at 8730 Potranco Rd. At the time, the company stated it would be the first of three area storefronts \u2014 part of a Texas expansion plan that included 50 outposts in the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio areas. Adding up its location at 1120 FM 775 in Seguin, the company has now fulfilled its promise.<\/p>\n<p>Like other Bojangles locations, the San Antonio sites serve the chain&#8217;s signature buttermilk biscuits topped with bacon, egg, and cheese; country ham; or sausage. The chain displays the baking process behind glass partitions, where guests can guess what &#8220;bo-berries&#8221; are. (Spoiler alert: they&#8217;re blueberries.)<\/p>\n<p>Although the company has not released the full menu, it will not offer bone-in chicken. When corporate heads announced the Texas expansion, they said the chain would streamline the traditional menu, focusing on best-sellers like tenders and chicken sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>Both can be paired with Southern-style sides like cole slaw, dirty rice, mac &#8216;n&#8217; cheese, and Bo-Tatos, Bojangles&#8217; circular hashbrown-tater tot hybrids.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the debut, the chain is hosting a special service for local police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and medics. The first 25 civilians arriving on opening day on April 21 will receive a $25 gift card and a swag bag. Everyone else has the chance to be one of 10 customers winning free breakfast for a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis opening is about more than just great Bojangles chicken and biscuits \u2013 it\u2019s a celebration ofthe first responders who serve and protect the community day in and day out,\u201d said TerrenceThames, President of Operations at the new Bojangles location, in a release.<\/p>\n<p>While the release did not divulge the hours for the new location, the chain is known for being an early riser. The Potranco Road location operated from 5:30 am-10 pm daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Bojangles restaurant will soon roost on the Southwest Side.
