MARYLAND, USA — Maryland residents who love Bojangles, we've got some bad news for you. According to the regional fast food company, all locations in Maryland are officially closed.
According to a Bojangles spokesperson, all five locations were owned by the same franchisee who "left the Bojangles system" late last year. Despite locations in Oxon Hill and Upper Marlboro appearing to be open on Google, and even on the Bojangles' website, all five locations have been closed since late 2023.
Several threads on Reddit and other social media sites left customers wondering what was happening, as the restaurants still appeared to have furniture inside and menus still up but no one working.
"Anyone know if the PG Bojangles are permanently closed?" one Reddit user asked in November 2023. "I went to 4 different locations around 1pm this Sunday/Monday and they were all closed."
WUSA9 reached out to Bojangles and received the following statement, confirming the closures:
"Five Bojangles restaurants in the Baltimore area have closed. The franchisee who owned these locations has left the Bojangles system. Baltimore is a vibrant market, and we have so much love for our Bojangles fans here. We hope to reopen the restaurants in the future under new management and provide the great food and service our guests expect from us."
The closures come months after a franchisee announced five more Bojangles locations to come within five years to the Baltimore area, according to reporting from CBS News. WUSA9 has asked Bojangles if those locations will still be moving forward and has not yet heard back.
