Charlotte, N.C. — Bojangles, the North Carolina-born restaurant chain specializing in Southern-style chicken, biscuits, breakfast and tea, has signed a 30-unit agreement that will bring the concept to Los Angeles for the first time.
The agreement, spearheaded by seasoned entrepreneur Lorenzo Boucetta and Poulet Brothers, LLC, is expected to introduce Bojangles to Los Angeles County in early 2025. Boucetta’s lifetime of experience in the hospitality industry and his background in real estate development, e-commerce and technology make him the perfect fit to lead the brand’s break into the Los Angeles market.

Being there for them at every stage of the franchising process strengthens our relationships and commitment to partnership,” says Jose Armario, CEO of Bojangles. “Lorenzo’s impressive background in business operations, hospitality, and real estate development makes him an ideal partner for us. We are ecstatic to bring Bojangles to Los Angeles residents and look forward to opening our first location in California next year, while anticipating the exciting growth that will follow.”
As Bojangles and Poulet Brothers, LLC plan to open 30 new locations over the next 6 years, franchising opportunities remain available in prime areas throughout California, offering entrepreneurs the chance to capitalize on the Bojangles business model and bring Southern flavor to communities across the state.
