OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Bojangles, the quasi-fast-casual restaurant that bills itself as “the Carolina classic chicken chain” but also offers a considerable amount of, well, other fast food-esque stuff (breakfast all day yes, hamburgers no), has reopened its sole Ocala location under new management.
The restaurant, located at 4828 SW College Rd., held a very special invite-only “First to Table” soft opening last week for the region’s first responders and local luminaries, and officially opened its doors to the public at 5 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, 2026. The first 100 dine-in customers received $100 gift cards (!) and the brand launched a sweepstakes, which you can enter here, giving away free breakfast for a year to 10 fortunate entrants.
“This location is now a company-owned restaurant after a full remodel to better serve customers in Ocala,” read an announcement. “Similar to other restaurants in Bojangles’ expanded footprint, the Ocala location features its popular all-day breakfast and a boneless chicken menu, including Bo’s Chicken Biscuit, Bo’s Chicken Sandwich and Bo’s Chicken Tenders, for lunch and dinner.”
The remodeled restaurant also features “Carolina Legend” decor and a “Biscuit Theater” allowing patrons to watch the 49-step process through which Bojangles’ “Certified Biscuit Makers” produce made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits.
“We’re excited to reopen our Ocala restaurant and welcome guests back with a fresh look and menu that reflects all our Bojangles restaurants in Florida, while staying true to the bold flavor and Southern hospitality our customers know and love,” said Allyson Campbell, Sr. Director of Marketing for Bojangles.
