Bojangles gets a lot of praise for being one of the most franchisee-friendly chains in the business . The concept is simple with a lot of consumer appeal , and the brand ’ s current small size ( around 600 locations throughout the United States ) means that there ’ s still a massive amount of room for growth without flooding the market – right now the brand is actively looking for franchise partners across the Southeast , Mid-Atlantic , Northeast and Midwest , which is a lot of area to cover . Plus , who couldn ’ t use more quality fried chicken options ? www . bojangles . com
