Citing workers who are “physically and emotionally drained,” Bojangles is giving employees a break this Monday and another Monday in September.

Bojangles said it is closing all company owned stores Monday Aug. 30 and Sept. 13.

Bojangles CEO Jose Armario praised the company’s workers, in a statement.  All told, 277 Bojangles restaurants in eight Southern states will be shut down for those two days.  22 in Charlotte will shut down both days. 

The announcement did not say whether this would be paid time off. A Bojangles spokesperson was not immediately available.

And Charlotte-based Bojangles is not the first area restaurant to close down to help worker burnout during the coronavirus pandemic.
