OHIO – Get ready, Delaware! The unmistakable aroma of seasoned fried chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits is headed your way. Bojangles, the popular chicken chain renowned for its Southern-inspired menu, is slated to open its third Central Ohio location at 39 Coughlin Lane in Delaware, Ohio, this summer.
This highly anticipated opening follows the successful launches of Bojangles in Hilliard (the first in Central Ohio) and Heath last year (2024). The new Delaware restaurant will bring the brand's signature offerings – including its famous Cajun-seasoned fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, Legendary Iced Tea®, and popular sides like Bo-Tato Rounds® (tots), Dirty Rice®, and coleslaw – closer to more fans in the region.
While an exact grand opening date has not yet been officially confirmed by the company, anticipation is high for a summer debut. Google currently lists a tentative opening date of July 22, 2025, and an employee at another Bojangles location reportedly confirmed a July opening for the Delaware store.
The expansion into Delaware is part of a significant growth plan for Bojangles in the Columbus area, spearheaded by prominent Bojangles franchise owner Jeff Rigsby. Rigsby has previously announced ambitious plans to bring approximately 15 more Bojangles restaurants to the Central Ohio market, making the brand a more ubiquitous presence for those craving its unique flavors.
The new Delaware location will offer residents a convenient spot to enjoy Bojangles' beloved breakfast items, individual meals, family boxes, and catering options.
Bojangles' continued expansion in Central Ohio is exciting news for fans of its distinctive chicken, biscuits, and Southern sides. As the Delaware location at 39 Coughlin Lane prepares for its summer 2025 opening, local residents and those in surrounding communities can look forward to experiencing why "It's Bo Time!" has become such a popular catchphrase. Keep an eye out for official opening announcements in the coming weeks.
