Iconic Restaurant Brand Famous for Hand-Breaded Chicken and Made-from-Scratch Buttermilk Biscuits Ranks #2 Among All Concepts in Chicken Category

February 08, 2017 // Franchising.com // CHARLOTTE, NC – Bojangles’ has earned a spot in the top 20 percent of Entrepreneur magazine’s recently released “2017 Franchise 500” list, considered the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Additionally, Bojangles’ ranks #2 overall among all brands in the Chicken Quick-Serve Restaurant category.

?The key factors that go into Entrepreneur’s evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. All franchises are given a cumulative score based on more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

“We spend months gathering and crunching data in order to produce the Franchise 500 ranking. We’re proud of the result and the way it continues to be a resource for the franchise community,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “Like every industry, franchising is ever-evolving and must smartly react to new technologies and consumer demands. We know it takes a lot to stay competitive, and are excited to celebrate those that do it best.”
