What condition must Bojangles franchisees meet regarding agreements with Bojangles or its affiliates to remain in good standing?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to remain in good standing and be eligible for renewal, a franchisee must not be in default of any agreement with Bojangles or its affiliates. Specifically, the franchisee must not be in default of any provision of the Franchise Agreement, any amendments or successors to it, or any other agreement between the franchisee (or their affiliates/beneficial owners) and Bojangles (or its affiliates). This requirement applies both when the franchisee gives notice of renewal and throughout the remaining term of the agreement.

This condition ensures that franchisees maintain a positive and compliant relationship with Bojangles throughout the term of their agreement. Defaulting on any agreement could jeopardize the franchisee's ability to renew their franchise. This is a fairly standard requirement in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure that franchisees are meeting all of their obligations and adhering to the terms of their agreements.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, this means carefully reviewing and understanding all agreements with Bojangles and its affiliates. It's crucial to meet all obligations, whether financial, operational, or otherwise, to avoid default and maintain eligibility for renewal. This includes not only the initial Franchise Agreement but also any subsequent amendments or related agreements. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Bojangles to address any potential issues or concerns proactively.
