Besides the modifications explicitly stated in the Addendum, what is the status of the Renewal Franchise Agreement for Bojangles?

According to the 2025 Bojangles FDD, the Renewal Franchise Agreement remains in full effect, except for the express modifications within the addendum. This means that all the original terms and conditions of the Renewal Franchise Agreement are still valid and enforceable, unless specifically changed by the addendum.

Several addenda included in the FDD modify the Renewal Franchise Agreement based on the franchisee's location. For example, addenda for Rhode Island, New York, and North Dakota franchisees address specific state laws. These addenda ensure that the franchise agreement complies with local regulations and that franchisees' rights are protected under those laws. The modifications can cover issues such as jurisdiction, venue, restrictive covenants, and waivers.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, this means it is crucial to carefully review both the Renewal Franchise Agreement and any addenda that apply to their specific state or situation. Understanding which provisions of the original agreement remain unchanged and which are modified by the addendum is essential for knowing their rights and obligations. Franchisees should pay close attention to how state laws impact the enforceability of certain clauses in the agreement.

It is also important to note that these addenda are entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Renewal Franchise Agreement, indicating that they are an integral part of the overall agreement. This ensures that all parties are aware of the modifications from the outset and that the agreement reflects the specific legal requirements of the franchisee's location.
