Bojangles is getting ready to fry up even more action in San Antonio, with a second restaurant slated to open April 21, according to the owners on SA Living. The new freestanding spot at 3003 SW Military Drive on the Southwest Side will join the chain’s original Potranco Road outpost, where opening day once had cars wrapped around the building.
New SW Military Location, Opening Date And Station Promo
Owners Terrence and Kristina Thames laid out the basics in an interview with WOAI's SA Living, confirming the SW Military Drive address and an April 21 grand opening. The segment also flagged a viewers-only Fiesta deal for customers who mention SA Living at the register. The station listed the new restaurant’s phone number as (210) 253-9298 and its Instagram as @Bojangles.satx.
Permits Show A Roughly $4 Million Build
State project filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show the SW Military Bojangles as a 2,655-square-foot, 57-seat freestanding restaurant with an estimated construction cost of about $4.08 million. According to the agency, construction start and completion dates on the project run from September 2025 through February 23, 2026, pointing to a spring opening on the horizon. TDLR's project listing has the full breakdown.
How The First San Antonio Bojangles Fared
The city’s first Bojangles, at 8730 Potranco Road, opened in July 2023 and immediately drew long lines and plenty of buzz as locals checked out the biscuits and spicy chicken. The chain’s official location page lists the Potranco store at 8730 Potranco Rd with phone (210) 267-8765, while outlets including Eater Austin documented the heavy crowds that turned up for day one. Bojangles' location page has more store details.
Owners: Family And Handmade Food
"Bojangles is a family-owned company and coming to the family centered San Antonio was a no brainer," Terrence and Kristina Thames told WOAI's SA Living. The pair said the new restaurant will lean into high-quality food, handmade menu items and a guest-first service model as they grow the brand locally, framing the opening as a neighborhood-focused addition rather than just another drive-thru.
Where Expansion Fits Into The Texas Push
The second San Antonio spot is part of a broader Texas buildout, with the chain filing multiple projects around the state, according to prior local coverage. Outlets, including MySA, have tracked TDLR filings and developer plans that put Bojangles on a wider Texas expansion path and help explain the investment in freestanding buildings and drive-thru capacity.
For San Antonio diners, the takeaway is straightforward: expect biscuits, sweet tea and some serious opening-day lines. Anyone hoping to cash in on the SA Living Fiesta offer should review the segment details and call the SW Military location in advance to confirm how the promotion works before heading over.
