Bonchon has signed a franchise agreement to open six locations throughout the Greater Nashville market in neighborhoods throughout Montgomery, Davidson, Sumner, Williamson, and Rutherford counties. Bonchon recently announced it is ramping up its growth initiative in key cities across the United States, including the Midwest, Northeast, and Southern markets. Today there are 385-plus locations worldwide. Bonchon was founded by Jinduk Seo in Busan, South Korea in 2002 and opened its first location in the United States in 2006. Expect crispy, crunchy twice-fried Korean fried chicken alongside bulgogi, Korean tacos, and japchae - a popular glass noodle dish with vegetables, sliced marinated ribeye, soy garlic sauce, and sesame oil.
In the brand’s first foray into Tennesse, Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Smyrna will all score locations of the popular chain - which translates to “my hometown” in Korean. Franklin/Murfreesboro/Smyrna: Bonchon, the popular family-friendly South Korean fried chicken chain, is headed to the Nashville burbs in 2022.
