Purple Onion eyes big expansion into former Bojangle’s spaces

Published May 27, 2020

A popular Birmingham-based restaurant is expanding throughout the metro area and beyond.

The Purple Onion is moving into four former Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits spaces.

New locations include 1545 Montclair Road in Irondale, 2207 Moody Pkwy in Moody, 3318 Rainbow Drive in Rainbow City and 2581 Pelham Parkway in Pelham.

According to Lyndsy Yim, an associate broker with Retail Specialists who represented The Purple Onion, the Pelham location will be a new concept. Also, all of the new locations will have a drive-through, which Yim said was a must for the owners due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yim said The Purple Onion, which currently has restaurants in Hoover, Hueytown and along U.S. 280, is also eyeing more locations in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

Jeff Sommer and Elliott Cook with Retail Strategies represented Purple Onion in the Rainbow City deal. Jon Masters with Moore Realty Co. also represented the company. Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits was represented by Scott Plummer with Retail Specialists.

I really enjoyed the meeting with Laura Marinos and Jennifer Gregory of Retail Strategies! They were very informative and supportive. They gave me so much information and tips for taking my business to the next level in the marketing area where I lack tremendously. I finally decided on a new name so I will be putting their tools into action soon!

Retail Strategies has been an incredible asset to both my clients and me in deal-making. Their folks do a great job of listening to retailers’ requirements and providing value. They’ve proven to be a strong conduit between municipalities and retailers supporting growth through connections.

I would highly recommend Retail Strategies. They have been a great partner to the Hendry County Economic Development Council in our recruitment efforts to bring more retail opportunities to the county. Their experience, knowledge, and relationships throughout the retail community combined with their friendly approach has made them a valued partner in our community’s growth efforts.

The thing that we really liked about Retail Strategies is that they work together with you and the community. We had to put together an executive committee that consists of some town employees, officials, some citizens and plus myself from the chamber. Retail Strategies has a very diverse background. They have people that are from economic development, they have people that were realtors, they have people that are downtown development directors, people that are in tourism, people that are in retail, so they really have all avenues.
