Bojangles' Celebrates 100 Stores and More Than 30 Years In South Carolina With Statewide Tour

COLUMBIA, S.C., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Bojangles' is taking a tour across South Carolina, and when their Cruisin' S.C. R.V. stops at each Bojangles' location, members of the community will have the chance to receive a free biscuit of their choice and receive special gifts.

Customers can also take advantage of rollback pricing the day of the tour stop, when items from sausage biscuits to an eight-piece/four-biscuit box of Bojangles' world-famous chicken, will be the same price they were in 1979 – the year the first Bojangles' opened in South Carolina. While enjoying free biscuits and rollback prices, customers can register to win one of 100 Bahamas cruises.  One cruise winner will be selected for each South Carolina Bojangles' location.

"Our Bojangles' team wanted to do something very special to celebrate our 100 stores and more than 30 years of Bojangles' heritage in South Carolina.  We wanted it to be something everyone in the state could participate in.  The Cruisin' S.C. tour will visit every community across South Carolina that Bojangles' has become a part of and provide a celebration for customers at every store throughout the state," said President and CEO of Bojangles' Randy Kibler.

Along with this statewide tour, Bojangles' is honoring one of the state's greatest resources:  its teachers.  In partnership with South Carolina Future Minds, Bojangles' is sponsoring this year's Teacher of the Year Program.  

"Everyone has a teacher they can thank for at least one thing they've achieved in life.  By partnering with South Carolina Future Minds' Teacher of the Year Program, Bojangles' is able to thank some of the state's best teachers for all that they do.  This program gives us the chance to honor the many great achievements these 85 teachers have made in shaping the future of South Carolina's children," said Randy Kibler.

Throughout the state, Bojangles' is hosting parties for faculty and staff members at more than 50 schools in honor of Teachers of the Year and donating nearly 1,600 books to libraries of public schools throughout South Carolina.  Many students joined Bojangles' in honoring District Teachers of the Year.  Students submitted short essays about why their teacher should be named the statewide Teacher of the Year.  Bojangles' rewarded children who submitted essays with a gift card, and South Carolina Future Minds will feature quotes from the students' essays in the program for next month's Teacher of the Year banquet, when the statewide Teacher of the Year will be announced.
