A Popular Fast Food Chain is Finally Opening its First New Jersey Location

There are a few businesses in New Jersey that we have plenty of.

We never have to go far to find a pizza joint, nail salon, or Wawa. Not that we're complaining.

How often have you visited a different part of the country, discovered a fantastic restaurant chain, and thought, why aren't any of these back home?

There are plenty of examples.

Have you ever experienced an In-N-Out burger?

The hype is absolutely justified.

The menu is straightforward. Burgers, shakes, fries.

You can get creative and get your burgers and fries "monster style."

It's essentially Thousand Island dressing on your burger or fries. Amazing.

In-N-Out has locations all over the Midwest and West that are consistently packed.

So, why aren't they out here in Jersey? Simple. This area just doesn't fit In-N-Out's business model. They are asked about an East Coast expansion non-stop.

Another restaurant chain that hasn't made it to New Jersey is Bojangles. That's about to change.

Bojangles is all about its Southern-inspired menu. It specializes in fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, and other comfort foods like dirty rice, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, seasoned fries, and coleslaw.

Their sweet tea is also pretty impressive.

The restaurant was founded in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has grown exponentially in the Southeastern United States.

You've probably had a chance to dig into Bojangles on a trip down to Florida.

According to the APP, you won't have to drive that long.

One of those restaurants in Ocean County's Berkley Township would be New Jersey's first Bojangles.

The other chain is tentatively set for the Berkley location: a drive-thru-only coffee shop called 7-Brew. Also, look for a car wash.
