The top 10 neighbors for Bojangles (social) span a narrow similarity band — from 0.91 down to 0.86 — with no single dominant pull and no sharp drop-off between positions. That flat distribution is itself the finding.
The cluster is built almost entirely from two subcategory groups: athletes and sports teams/leagues. Atlanta Braves leads at 0.91, followed by FOX Sports South at 0.90 — a regional sports TV channel. Greg Olsen (0.88), Freddie Freeman (0.88), and David Pollack (0.87) are all athletes, joined by sports journalist Paul Finebaum at 0.87. The one structural outlier is Food Lion, a grocery and superstore brand, at 0.88 — the only non-sports entity in the top 10 aside from Waffle House (0.87), the only other restaurant in the set. The Southeastern Conference and SEC Network appear just outside the top 10 in the broader neighbor list, reinforcing the regional sports character already visible here. Bojangles itself is classified as a Restaurant, making Waffle House the lone same-subcategory neighbor in the top 10.
The shape of this audience — a restaurant brand whose nearest neighbors are overwhelmingly SEC-adjacent athletes, teams, and sports media — points to a tightly regional audience profile centered on Southern sports culture.
