Nearly a week later than originally scheduled, Southern fried chicken chain Bojangles has opened its first ever Arizona location in Gilbert.
The new restaurant opened its doors at 5 a.m. on July 20. The first 100 customers in line on Monday morning received $100 gift cards.
The Gilbert location includes a “biscuit theater” allowing guests to watch their biscuits be made in real time.
“We are ecstatic about introducing Bojangles to Phoenix and bringing our unique Southern charm to the market,” said Jeanette Davis, sr. vice president of LV Petroleum, the company responsible for Bojangles’ expansion in the western United States. “Our recent expansions into new markets have been met with tremendous enthusiasm, and we are confident that the Phoenix community will embrace our delicious offerings with the same excitement.”

The Gilbert location menu includes several biscuit breakfast sandwiches such as bacon, egg and cheese and steak biscuits; breaded chicken sandwiches; 3-, 4- or 5-piece chicken tenders; sweet Bo-berry biscuits; “legendary” iced tea; and vanilla, bo-berry and chocolate milkshakes.
