When is the addendum to the Bojangles Renewal Franchise Agreement entered into relative to the execution of the Renewal Franchise Agreement itself?

According to the 2025 Bojangles Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Bojangles Renewal Franchise Agreement is executed simultaneously with the Renewal Franchise Agreement. This means that the addendum, which may contain specific modifications or clarifications to the standard agreement, is signed at the same time as the main Renewal Franchise Agreement.

For a franchisee, this simultaneous execution ensures that all terms and conditions, including any state-specific amendments or updates included in the addendum, are agreed upon and take effect at the same time. This eliminates any ambiguity about which version of the agreement is in force.

Specifically, the Rhode Island Addendum modifies sections of the Renewal Franchise Agreement to comply with the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, ensuring that provisions regarding jurisdiction, venue, and applicable laws are enforceable within the state. Similarly, other addenda address specific legal requirements in states like North Dakota, Minnesota, and New York. These addenda typically cover issues such as restrictive covenants, arbitration proceedings, forum restrictions, and waivers of trial by jury, ensuring that the Bojangles franchise agreement complies with local laws and protects the franchisee's rights within that state.
