I had left a vmail yesterday for the CEO of Bojangles, Randy Kibler and he called me back tonight at around 6:45 PM. He could not have been nicer. He is a graduate of Spring Valley in Columbia and a Gamecock grad! He reads those comments you all are sending through the Bojangles website and he said he and the local franchise owner of the store across from the Brice are committed to doing all they can to make that particular location as "Gamecock" as possible. He also confessed to me that working for a company where orange is the primary color has never been easy for him since he is a big Gamecock fan. He said the awning will have to stay orange because it is so tied into Bojangles' identity. He said if they painted it Gamecock colors then every Bojangles that is near every college campus would insist on doing the same thing.
Anyway, I like Bojangles even more now!!

I love me some Bojangles. Best chicken IMO and the best breakfast biscuits and it ain't even close. The country ham and egg is my favorite and it is a drive to Columbia game day breakfast must...actually, make that 2 of them.
I live in Greenville and used to have to drive across town to get my fix, but they just built one near where I live at Cherrydale. Love it.

they could write into their bylaws or whatever they may have that says unless the particular store is within 400 yards of a stadium the color scheme can not be changed. I mean really, how many stadiums have a Bojangles at their front door. Let me rephrase that, how many stadiums have a Bojangles at their front door and the aforementioned restuarant's CEO is a graduate of that particular school......if this cant be pulled off, something is wrong.

Best breakfast biscuits and it ain't even close? Are you kidding me? I'm not big on fast food breakfast but nobody does fast food breakfast biscuits better than Hardees. If you prefer Bojangles biscuits over Hardees then you obviously would prefer salisbury steak over a ribeye or filet.
Sometimes, in the course of human events, people get lit on fire.

Yes that's a problem because the (disgustingly) orange color is a part of their brand identity.
Just like McDonald's golden arches, the Apple logo, etc.
They don't want 1,000 different awning colors because they want people to see the same, consistent color and immediately crave fried chicken.
