BOJ of WNC is headquartered at 131 Glenn Bridge Rd in Arden, North Carolina, south of Asheville, and operates as a Bojangles franchisee through BOJ of WNC, LLC. Founder and chief executive Jeff Rigsby began working in restaurants as a teenager in 1979 and rose through the ranks of a national restaurant chain before joining Bojangles in 1994. In 2001 he purchased his first Bojangles restaurants in the Asheville area, and over the following two decades the company added restaurants, developed its teams and entered new markets. The Arden office serves as the company's support center. BOJ of WNC is family owned. The company operates under franchise agreements and does not own the Bojangles brand. Restaurants are quick serve and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with fried chicken, hand-breaded chicken supremes, chicken sandwiches, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, Bo-Tato Rounds and Southern-style sides. The company also runs a Bojangles food truck for community and private events, and its teams support local schools, churches and nonprofits. The company's restaurants are concentrated in the Carolinas and the wider Southeast, with a reach into the Midwest.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
