Abandoned Bojangles - Fayetteville, WV

Abandoned Bojangles - Fayetteville, WV. This is one of our videos from the summer of 2020 that never got uploaded. A rarity, Bojangles doesn't often close restaurants so I was a bit surprised to come across this.

[@ntropolis]

Living in North Carolina, it's rare to see vacant/abandoned Bojangles since it's so popular here. That Mt. Airy location looks like an older one.

[@JackVegetables18]

I live in raleigh nc and every bojangles you go to around the area are always packed lol

[@ntropolis]

@@JackVegetables18 Haha yep, same in Wilmington! I drove by the one across from UNCW yesterday and the drive thru line was out into the road

[@friesareyummy]

This is hella weird to see.........vacant Bojangles. Being from NC's capital, people definitely fill up the locations down here.

[@friesareyummy]

@@ntropolis I've been to that one before. Boy does it get fast really fast lol

[@slackingpacking]

I’ve been to Bojangles once. It’s a great restaurant, I’ve read where Bojangles is coming to Columbus.

[@brandonb.6099]

The building is still in good shape.

[@scottuncfan]

I've heard bojangles is coming to Ohio in the future. I love some bojangles

[@EvanSutton2015]

They are. They been eyeing Cincinnati but now has a Columbus Ohio division now. 15 new locations coming to Ohio in the next 7 years. More is coming to Ky, PA, and New states like NY and TX.

[@davidrish3605]

Hey waillie how often do you see a closed kfc when doing videos

[@JeremysRetailExploration]

There's an abandoned Shoney's in Fayetteville, It is right next to a Big Lots, and an abandoned Kmart is also close to there.

[@cassyzinkartandwallart7736]

Hey Jeremy I'm here to update you on the abandoned kmart in oak hill it is now a medical facility they are doing vaccines near that or they used to thank you for asking about

[@JackVegetables18]

Not often you find an abandoned bojangles awesome video bro 👍

[@jasong3652]

This one wasn't open for long, im from NC and moved to northern WV in 2014 and we would drive to the one in Princeton, WV because it was the closest one. I guess WV doesn't appreciate some of the best food ever!

[@kevinbaugh820]

I love Bojangles. We have one here in Princeton, WV. The one here in Princeton, WV looks exactly like the one in this video.

[@sirbobfive]

Sorry for you loss... of this Bojangles. Like the fact that they put glass block windows in for the kitchen staff. Thanks for sharing!

[@Team7channel]

Love some Bojangles!!! Great place and great video

[@amandaclick3590]

Wallie, I know it breaks your heart to see Bojangles closed and there's no food, but I am glad you found one that was open and you did get food! I bet it was delicious! 🍔❤😘👍 I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much!

[@duanemcclanahan2925]

Much to your displeasure, BoJangles went into an expansion where 1 franchisee owned alll of the Bojangles except Bluefield wv. there was 2 Bojangles in Huntington, 1 in Cross Lanes, 1 at Corridor G, the last one in Kanawha City. The franchisee "let go"of all of the above mentioned restauramts and all closed abruptly.

[@spongebobsquarepants725]

I haven't seen an old school Bojangles in a good while until the one you went to at the end.

[@mason4084]

Driving around Bojangles into the plaza, I always wondered how the interior looked! Nice video!

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome video

[@ErikVince]

Has always Wally a great video 📸

[@jille8270]

I live in WV and several bojangles opened only to soon close. I heard that these were franchised and there was an issue with the franchisee and that is why they closed

[@GLeibniz1716]

Never heard of this franchise: but great find - be safe Wallie and Kayla!

[@carlavision6143]

Wallie, never seen a bojangles around here in Oklahoma! Really enjoyed your video!

[@STSRTF]

Thier are several Bojangles locations near me and one of them has the exact same interior and exterior design as this one.

[@SpenceDuPuis]

Between 2018-2020 quite a few bojangles closed throughout West Virginia

[@vistatiger7493]

The dirty rice at Bojangle's is awesome. I heard recently that Popeye'e dropped their cajun rice from the menu. The Bojangle's rice is much better IMO.

[@adamsATSfan415]

Good video wallie keep up the good content.

[@siltstridersftw]

The Cajun Chicken Biscuit combo is amazing, I usually can't decide between the Fries or the Bo-Rounds. But great food all around.

[@Jessicanyc]

We have Popeyes in NYC , but would like to try Bojangles if we had one here

[@rohm1269]

i remember seeing this when i was on a trip with my family around a year ago. I wasn't sure of what the location was but I remember hoping you were going to a video on the location eventually

[@ErikVince]

Mr Bojangles and that's all I know of that song

[@JacobTheBro]

That’s my Bojangles, I used to eat their all the time, now it’s a Dominos, I miss Bojangles 😢😢😢

[@brianthompson8514]

At the intersection of poplar street and noblestown road in greentree/Pittsburgh there is an abandoned first national bank. The perfect location for this.

[@danestegman155]

Good video! Not much left inside this place! Somebody, will take it over!

[@alaurenmarie4548]

Come to Southeastern Michigan. Abandoned Sears galore. One in Lincoln Park, MI and Taylor, MI.

[@EvanSutton2015]

Bojangles has closed many locations on I64 in Kentucky. But have announce 45 new locations in Ky, SC, NC, TN, and Ga and with 15 new locations in Ohio. Also one new one coming to PA and WV with new state of NY and TX being added some also.

[@johnb.1750]

Ok no cajon biscuit, no boberry biscuit and noo oj well that's just the most exciting thing

[@backwoodsdipper962]

We just had one close here in Virginia.. and I work there now so I know how you feel

[@irenefleckenstein584]

We in Leesburg Florida had one but it closed several years ago.never made it to ting that place,,,

[@keithatkins9783]

Reading pa is about 40 minutes north from where I live at.

[@weatheronthe8s895]

Sadly all the Bojangles seem to have closed in WV except for Princeton the last I checked. Sad to see all these restaurants close after such a short time. Sadly they just didn't do that great of business. I know quite a few of them have been converted into different places. Ones in Huntington and Beckley were converted into Sonic. Also I think one in Charleston was converted to Cookout and another in Huntington was converted into a car wash strangely. Either way, the expansion apparently flopped. Although I have not seen the Sonic in Beckley not doing great business either. Not sure if people just don't care about Sonic or if the location is just cursed or something. It is further than the other fast food places from the interstate. The Bojangles in Fayetteville though was hard to miss going along 19.

[@yikes6969]

There were quite a few Bojangles that popped up in WV like 3 years ago and all of them shut down about a year ago at the same time. It was weird.

[@getalongva]

Franchisee issues?

[@alanlough638]

I've heard of this restaurant, but I never ate at Bojangles. Have a Bojangleslicious Day! Have a KMartlicious Day!

[@StantonsJourneys]

You can go now lmao to funny, now i have to find one and try one for myself, thanks for making me hungry again after the delicious Raaaaax! today lol.

[@syxepop]

One thing that intrigues me from that recent Rax video, are those roast beef sandwiches better than, say, Roy Rogers (had them in NYC once when that was a thing and they're definitively quite better than Arby's, which NEEDS THE HORSEY SAUCE to get anywhere)?

[@dfsvids2113]

I'm a huge nascar fan and thats the only reason I even know of bojangles

[@news89]

One day I'll get to try Bojangles

[@stewartmatthews1551]

Oh man I am sorry to here that man

[@calvincats]

this location was open less than 2 years, same way in Beckley, not far from there

[@maddiezigler]

Same for two in Huntington,WV less than 10 minutes away from each other.

[@unknownuser..._...]

Woah! Never heard of this brand! Great Video though!

[@brandorc94]

We got only one here in Pennsylvania and the food is fantastic!

[@l1ght608]

They opened this bojangles closed it, then the owner opened one in beckley. Closed it again in beckley.

[@carolynuschock9028]

Love your hair Kayla

[@joeykliniski3336]

Nice looks like u in joyed the one that was open

[@sonatagirl07]

Damn thats wild Ive never seen an abandoned Bojangles and this stripped down....that towns tastebuds must be off for them not to keep it in business lol. Luckily I live in the only part of my state with them :)

[@carolynuschock9028]

Wow you two get around

[@NerdyandGirly90]

This breaks my heart. A Bojangles closed? Very sad. I hope I don't see that in my area (Western NC)

[@wallacestine]

Ay I’m Western NC too where is your roundabouts?

[@1cy_H0t_Fr0g]

There's an abandonded staples in jhonyoung parkway Orlando FL if you can check it out

[@davidwheels773]

Alabama has had some closures.

[@michaelmcwhorter8707]

Bojangles made a huge effort to open brand new restaurants a few years ago here in West Virginia. They spent a pretty being chunk of change to build and furnish all these facilities. Then a year later they closed them all. A few have been repurposed into Cook Out brand burger restaurants. To be honest, the Bojangles weren't very good, at least where I live. Overpriced. Sub-par food. The 30 year old KFC was better than many of these places, as far as chicken goes. Why and how Bojangles took such a huge loss on these restaurants is beyond me.

[@johnstandridge6585]

So Bojangles went public several years ago.to please the stock holders they started throwing up stores left and right.it didnt matter if it made since to open in that certain area or not, just open one. Low sales made them rethink so they closed low performing stores.the company was sold a couple of years ago and they went back to being private.now they are more stable and are growing again the right way.

[@guynethdailey1759]

There have been a lot of closures in WV of Bojangles.

[@vistatiger7493]

You should visit upstate SC. They are on every corner seems like. Some small towns have two. lol.

[@ZachArmstrong02]

We have lots of bojangles in my area

[@InkCityClothing]

I’ve been to this one… but there is a Sheetz right across the road

[@gradymcclintock3766]

The orange roof looks like it could be hooters

[@ryanbailey3916]

This bojangles was pretty good when I ate there once from what I heard this place is supposed to domino’s pizza.

[@markglatfelter138]

New looking building

[@breeslilcorner]

It's been many years since I've eaten at a Bojangles. I'm pretty sure it was in Virginia too.

[@jimnicholas449]

Part 2 of Wallie's heartbreak: This particular location was made into a used car lot. :op

[@Oldsvito2999]

There's an abandoned Kroger now Marc's in Dayton and kmart Brunswick Ohio

[@HisokaYugami9210]

Wallie, have you had Zaxby’s before? If you haven’t, you need to hit one up as soon as possible! They’re like Chick-Fil-A 2.0

[@paul-roblox5174]

It looks like they were closed not that long ago but I wish I knew why they closed but I don't

[@chetjeangraves2979]

There is a abandoned marathon gas station in crossville tn

[@BenKempa]

Bojangles is your favorite fast food place? You seemed pretty enthusiastic about Rax in that video.

[@retaildetail8685]

There is one in Lancaster pa

There is one bojangels in reading pa that's the only one I know of in pa other then that you eaither have to go down around Washington dc or Virginia

[@dansimon1100]

So which one do you go to here in Winchester Virginia the one on Route 7 or the one on 50 West I had their chicken sandwich before it's not bad

[@WallieB26]

I've actually been to both! Just depends on which one is faster to get to based on Google maps from my area and traffic, etc.

[@dansimon1100]

@@WallieB26 hell yeah buddy yeah they're not a bad place to eat I finally tried it not too long ago I just wanted to try out their chicken sandwich but yeah let you know there's a whole bunch of more new abandoned stuff around here if you want to do videos and stuff there's an old Pizza Hut here that's about ready to be torn down I did a video on it myself but just to let you know I think it would be coming down soon

[@Mr.TylerSC]

When you go to Winchester you should visit Roy Rogers. They have great fried chicken, burgers, and roast beef sandwich. Fewer locations these days but they are expanding again in Virginia, Maryland, and Pa.

[@dansimon1100]

@@Mr.TylerSC sad to say but that location just shut down about a few weeks ago the Roy Rogers I live here Winchester I went there a few days before they shut down and I ate a Philly cheese steak sub it was good

Looks like Bojangles turned into Bodangles.

wow Wallie cant find any food again xD

[@joeydurborow4106]

I have heard of bojangles but I have never been there

[@chefbran1]

Ok, why am I getting Wendy's vibes from this building? I feel like this could've been a Wendy's before it became Bojangles, but who knows, I could be wrong

[@patlk]

It opened in 2016

[@williamdevriesjr2812]

Never heard of them

[@Bemfactor98]

This makes me wonder if they opened a new location and just took every single bit of equipment from this one and moved it to the new location

[@vistatiger7493]

They usually un -brand and paint over the signature orange awnings when they relocate to a new location. That prototype doesn't look that old to be replaced.

[@treycomer9413]

You would go to my home state after I moved 😫 I’ve sent you tips on Instagram of many abandoned places in WV on Instagram! In my hometown we still have an old Hills!

[@crystalscan2002]

why did they close that one, it looks like updated, and has Led lighting

[@DalmationProductions]

never heard of this brand before
