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.

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."
