It’s Bo Time again in Fort Oglethorpe.
Six months after the Bojangles fast food restaurant across from the Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School shut down, a new franchise owner cut the ribbon Friday on a refurbished Bojangles at 2051 Battlefield Parkway. Cedartown Chicken LLC, a Rome, Georgia-based investment firm started two years ago to buy and build Bojangles’ locations in the South, bought the shuttered Bojangles in Fort Oglethorpe earlier this year and spent nearly $300,000 to fix up the 14-year-old eatery.
“This site, in particular, has a lot of traffic, and customers here genuinely want this food option,” Kristina Fischer, Cedartown’s chief operating officer, said in an interview. “Chicken is one of those comfort foods that people want, and this unit here just needed to be upgraded to a higher level.”
Community leaders welcomed the return of the fast-food chicken chain.
