Bojangles Southern chicken appears to be close to opening in Flowood. What we know

Jackson area customers will soon be able to experience Bojangles' hand-breaded, Cajun-seasoned, fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits a little closer to home, judging by the outward progress apparent at the franchise's location under construction in Flowood.

Although still under construction Bojangles in Flowood appears to be nearing completion on Hugh Ward Boulevard at E. Pineview Drive near the Jackson City Limits and directly across from the Walgreens on Hugh Ward Boulevard.

However, it is unclear when exactly the Bojangles' Flowood location will open, and Bojangles corporate public relations did not immediately respond to requests for comment on this story or on the anticipated opening date.

According to the company website, Bojangles got its name when co-founder Jack Funk heard the song "Mr. Bojangles" on the radio.
