Bojangles Opens New Location in Brevard County |
Southern Favorite Bojangles Debuts in Melbourne with Biscuit Cutting Ceremony |
Bojangles has officially opened its doors in Melbourne, marking the beloved Southern chain's much-anticipated arrival in Brevard County.
Located at 5155 N. Wickham Road, the new restaurant celebrated its grand opening on December 16, 2025, with a unique biscuit-cutting ceremony, a nod to its famous made-from-scratch biscuits.
In a heartfelt gesture, Bojangles hosted a special preview lunch on December 15 for local first responders, with the Melbourne Fire Department being the first to be served.
"We're thrilled to be opening our doors here in Melbourne," said Joe Horne, regional marketing manager for Bojangles.
"This 'First to Table' event honors the local first responders who serve and protect Melbourne every day—it's our way of saying thank you with a warm Southern welcome."
The event drew excited locals and members of the Melbourne Regional Chamber, including Rhonda Morelock, a Brevard County resident and avid Bojangles fan.
"I'm so excited to have Bojangles in Melbourne!" she exclaimed.
Known for its Cajun-seasoned fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits, Bojangles has been a Southern staple since its founding in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Melbourne location is part of the company's broader expansion into Florida, with other recent openings in Clermont and Daytona Beach.
Residents can now enjoy Bojangles' signature breakfast items, served all day, as well as lunch and dinner options starting at 10:30 a.m.
The restaurant's operating hours are from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., though hours may vary by location.
