Restaurant opened its doors after honoring the Circleville Fire Department, Police Department, EMTs and medics with pre-opening event
CIRCLEVILLE, OH – (Feb. 4, 2026) – Bojangles, the legendary, Carolina-born chain celebrated for its iconic chicken, biscuits and breakfast, has officially opened in Circleville. Located at 1280 S. Court Street, the restaurant opened its doors to the public today at 5:30 a.m., bringing the brand’s signature flavors and warm hospitality to the community.
This is the company’s first location in Circleville and fourth in the Columbus DMA, joining other restaurants in Heath, Columbus and Delaware.
To mark the occasion and show appreciation to those who protect and serve Circleville every day, Bojangles hosted a private Friends & Family-style event, honoring the town’s first responders. The “First to Table” event welcomed local police officers, firefighters, EMTs and medics to be the first to enjoy Bojangles’ menu, including favorites like Bo’s Chicken Biscuit, Bo’s Chicken Sandwich, Bo’s Chicken Tenders and Bo-Berry Biscuits. The event featured a special “biscuit-cutting” ceremony – a Bojangles twist on the traditional ribbon cutting – with city officials, first responders and Bojangles representatives.

“This opening is about more than just great Bojangles chicken and biscuits – it’s a celebration of the first responders who serve and protect the community day in and day out,” said Randy Icard, President of Bojangles of WNC. “We’re excited to introduce our Southern hospitality and famous flavors to Circleville – and proud to kick things off by honoring the local heroes who keep it safe.”
In celebration of the opening, Bojangles is treating 10 lucky customers to free breakfast for a year. Guests can visit this website to learn more about the sweepstakes and enter for a chance to win.
