Bojangles is investing $2 million to build its first restaurant in Denton, Texas, a 2,700-square-foot location at 3000 W. University Drive. The investment is documented in a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
Why it matters
The project extends Bojangles' expansion across Texas, where it has opened 23 restaurants since its first Texas location in Euless in 2023. For Denton residents, it adds a national chain to the city's dining options near the University of North Texas.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing lists a $2 million investment for a 2,700-square-foot restaurant, against a national footprint of more than 800 Bojangles locations. Construction timelines in the filing are subject to change, and the opening date has not been announced.
