Bojangles’ closes a Columbia restaurant for demolition. Here’s what’s next
One Columbia Bojangles’ restaurant has closed in anticipation of being demolished and rebuilt.
The Bojangles’ at 7385 Two Notch Road, near Columbia Place Mall, closed Dec. 1, according to Brian Little, a company spokesperson.
The building will be demolished soon, Little said, and the restaurant is expected to reopen in a new building in its place in spring 2020.
Employees from that Bojangles’ location were offered employment opportunities at other Bojangles’ restaurants in the area until the new restaurant is complete, Little said.
Bojangles’, a Charlotte-based fast food chain specializing in chicken and biscuits, has nine other restaurants in Columbia.
BEHIND THE STORY
MOREWhy we report on business openings and closings
The restaurants, stores and other businesses that come and go in our communities have a direct effect on our everyday lives. Where you’ll take your family for dinner tonight or why your neighbor closed down the family shop — these are conversations you have all the time with one another, and The State newspaper strives to cover the things you talk about and care about.
Reporters at The State regularly drive and walk through local neighborhoods and retail centers to notice openings and closings, check public documents for hints about business moves and — most importantly — talk to our friends and neighbors about what they see, hear and wonder about in the community. Feel free to reach out to our reporters anytime to tell us what you know or ask us what you want to know about local businesses.
