Bojangles names supply chain VP

Bojangles has added a seasoned supply chain leader to its management team.

The fast-growing, Southern food restaurant chain, which has more than 760 locations throughout the Southeast, named Katie Radtke as VP of supply chain. She will oversee food and packaging, distribution, logistics and quality assurance in her new role.

Prior to joining Bojangles, Radtke served as senior director of global procurement for multi-brand restaurant company Inspire Brands and led efforts for Arby’s in Canada, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John’s, Rusty Taco and Sonic. She managed global procurement exclusively for BWW prior to its acquisition by Inspire. 

Radtke’s appointment comes on the heels of major franchise development deals recently announced with Chaac Foods Restaurants and longtime Bojangles franchisee Jeff Rigsby that include opening more than 80 new locations during the next seven years.

“Katie is a transformational supply chain leader, and her extensive experience in developing strategies to optimize the supply chain for nationally recognized restaurant franchise brands will be critical as Bojangles continues to grow and meet increased demand for our delicious Southern food,” said Ken Koziol, Bojangles’ chief restaurant support officer.
