Families and friends cruising down State Highway 121 will notice a bright green glow emanating from the familiar Bojangles restaurant at 3840 State Highway 121. In a festive nod to Halloween, the northwest Plano location has temporarily re‑branded itself as “Boojangles,” inviting the community to celebrate the spooky season together.
Free Meal for Costumed Guests
On Saturday, Oct. 17, and again on Saturday, Oct. 24, Bojangles will reward anyone who arrives in costume with a free six‑piece chicken dinner. The promotion runs from noon until 10 p.m. each day, giving families ample time to stop by after school, work, or a day of trick‑or‑treating.
Community‑Focused Celebration
The restaurant’s Halloween makeover is more than a marketing stunt; it’s a way to bring neighbors together in a safe, family‑friendly environment. By offering a free meal to those who dress up, Bojangles encourages participation from children and adults alike, reinforcing the traditional family values that make Plano neighborhoods strong.
