Bojangles fans here in Oklahoma City will need to wait a bit longer for the popular chicken and biscuits chain to open its first metro locations. The restaurant's first site, under construction near N. Penn Avenue and W. Memorial Road, is now expected to open in March 2026, according to reports. The opening had originally been planned for late 2025.

What We Know About the Locations

The first Bojangles restaurant is taking shape in north Oklahoma City, with construction underway at N. Penn Avenue and W. Memorial Road. This spot will be the first taste of the chain’s Southern-style fried chicken and biscuits for local folks.

A second location is planned for I-240 and S. Eastern Avenue on the south side of the city. However, there’s no timeline yet for when that one might open. Bojangles hasn’t shared further details about additional locations in Oklahoma just yet, but these two sites are a big start.

Why the Delay?

While no specific reason for the delay has been announced, construction projects often face challenges like weather, supply chain issues, or permitting. Folks driving near the N. Penn Avenue and W. Memorial Road area may have already noticed work happening at the site.

Bojangles, a North Carolina-based chain, is known for its crispy fried chicken, buttery biscuits, and sweet tea. This will mark the brand’s first foray into Oklahoma, which has been eagerly anticipated by chicken lovers across the metro.

For now, fans will need to hang tight until March 2026 for that first bite. Keep an eye out for updates as construction progresses.
