A businessman who managed to turn his love for spicy fried chicken and biscuits into the Bojangles’ regional fast-food chain has died.
Jack Fulk, 78, died Wednesday after a long illness, according to Harry and Bryant Funeral Home in Charlotte.
Bojangles’ started in 1977, when Fulk got business partner Richard Thomas to join him in opening a chicken restaurant in Charlotte, Fulk’s family told The Charlotte Observer.
Fulk put a twist on his chicken, making it spicier than most other restaurants.
