Bojangles announced plans to open the Northport location in 2009, right about the time Chick-fil-A also announced plans for a Northport restaurant.
The Bojangles chain was founded in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to its website, Bojangles has more than 800 restaurants in 17 states and employs more than 9,000 people.
Tuscaloosa has a Bojangles restaurant at 4309 Veterans Memorial Parkway. In all, Bojangles operates 20 restaurants in Alabama, according to its website.
The restaurants typically serve a breakfast menu all day. In addition to its seasoned chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits, Bojangles is known for its Cajun-inspired side dishes and its iced tea, as well as its slogan: "It's Bo Time."

Aldi offering students a career with them after exams day
Aldi is offering more than 350 apprenticeships across Greater Manchester. The UK's fourth-largest supermarket is encouraging young people to consider careers in retail through its paid apprenticeship scheme. Store Apprentices will start on £8.64 per hour in their first year, rising to £12.11 by year three. Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: "Not every young person will want to follow the same path after school and there are plenty of ways to build a successful career. "Our apprentices get real experience, real pay, and the chance to build a real future from day one, and we've got a whole host of opportunities available for those who are ambitious, driven and ready to learn. "We'd encourage anyone deciding on their next step this week to consider a career with us and get in touch if you're ready for the challenge." The scheme also offers industry-recognised qualifications and additional benefits, including high street shopping discounts, a cycle-to-work scheme, 28 days of paid holiday and free mortgage advice.

Now we've got Home Bargains, here are the shops Watford people want next
When Home Bargains opened its huge new store in Watford last week, the wishes of many in the town came true. But with the Waterfields Way store now here - and many having queued from early on Saturday (August 9) to welcome it - thoughts turned to what else the town might be lacking on the retail front. New Lidls and and one Aldi are on their way, so we asked Watford Observer readers what they want to see open in the town. We received a range of responses. The most common answer was IKEA, with the Swedish giant one of the biggest brands not to have a presence in Watford. One commenter said: "IKEA please, so I don't have to get three buses to the one in Wembley." While the aforementioned store is the nearest fully-fledged IKEA, a smaller "rapid rollout" shop recently opened in Harlow, perhaps providing a future blueprint for Watford. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many shoppers still pine for the return of John Lewis, which closed its Harlequin store in 2022. Its unit has been divided up, with Choice taking over part of the building, while Flip Out has opened in its basement. Dunelm, Peacocks and Poundland are also among those to have taken up residence. Going back even further, one nostalgia-fuelled suggestion called for the return of Woolworths. Another common suggestion was frozen food chain Farmfoods, which has more than 300 stores nationwide but is yet to grace Watford. Others wanted to see Iceland reopen after its closure in 2023. Its unit has sat vacant since, but is set to be filled by Aldi later this year. When similar questions have been asked previously, there have been mentions of a Chinese restaurant, more nightlife and demand for Thai and Vietnamese cuisines.
