Group To Develop 4 Bojangles Units

Faber, Coe & Gregg of Florida, an experienced operator group that owns restaurants, bars and retail businesses across more than 60 locations, has signed an agreement with Bojangles to bring two restaurants to Norfolk, Virginia, as part of a four-location nontraditional development deal planned over the next six years.

The group had units in nontraditional venues such as airports, transit locations, and train stations. Founded in 1848, the company possesses a diverse franchise portfolio that includes Dunkin', Jimmy John's, Wetzel's Pretzels, and Sonic.

"From the second we were introduced to Bojangles, we knew it was a special brand with a proven operating model and a leadership team that truly supports its franchisees," said Wally Janokowicz, vice president at Faber. "We're honored to lead the company's first military base restaurant and help introduce Bojangles to new guests in Virginia. We're confident the brand's made-from-scratch biscuits, bold chicken offerings, and Southern hospitality will resonate with community members throughout the region."

In addition to opening Bojangles' first military base restaurant in Norfolk, Janokowicz and the Faber team will be spearheading the opening of a new location in the Norfolk International Airport.

"Bojangles is growing its Southern roots across the East Coast, and we're incredibly proud this includes our first military base restaurant," said Jose Armario, CEO of Bojangles. "The operators leading this growth are seasoned restaurant professionals who truly embody our brand and values. The key to sustainable growth is the success of our franchisees, and we look forward to supporting this team as they introduce Bojangles to new communities."
