Does Texas Really Need Another Chicken Joint? Here Comes Bojangles

October 26, 2025 – The fast-growing Southern fried-chicken and biscuits chain Bojangles is firmly setting its sights on Texas — and some residents are asking: do we really need another chicken joint?
Bojangles recently announced multiple Texas expansion moves, including key openings in the Houston area (notably in Spring, Texas) and a planned debut in the Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs.

Chicken is cheaper for restaurants than beef because it costs less to produce, but restaurant prices vary depending on the establishment, with some charging the same for chicken and beef while others price chicken products lower. Restaurants are adding more chicken options due to rising beef prices, which are driven by higher feed and cattle production costs. 

One franchise deal in particular targets the city of Seguin, Texas via a “travel-center” format, part of a larger multi-unit development agreement.

Texas is already home to hundreds of chicken-focused restaurants, leading some critics to question whether Bojangles’ growth will simply cannibalize existing brands rather than fill an underserved niche. Proponents argue Bojangles brings a unique Southern-flavored menu with biscuits, Cajun‐seasoned chicken and sides not typically found at every chain. The brand also touts strong franchise momentum in Texas, with plans for dozens more stores by 2026.

Whether locals will flock or shrug remains to be seen — but one thing is clear: Texas’ chicken wars are heating up, and Bojangles wants to be front and center in the fight.

Here are the Texas Cities recently slated to get Bojangles Chicken:

Seguin, Texas — site of a travel‐center format Bojangles deal.

Spring, Texas — Houston‐area location opening in early 2025.

League City, Texas — another Houston‐suburb slated for Bojangles.

Orange, Texas — part of the chain’s broader Texas expansion.

McKinney, Texas — Dallas‐area market confirmed for 2025 Bojangles.

Manor, Texas — Austin‐area suburb included for geographic context of Texas coverage.

There are currently 17 Texas locations including Baytown, Bedford, Cypress, Euless, Fort Worth, Frisco, Lancaster, League City, Lewisville, Lorena, Orange, Richmond, San Antonio, Spring, Tomball, Webster, and Wylie.
