What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Landlord' in the context of the lease agreement addendum is a party that enters into an agreement with the franchisee. This agreement is an addendum to the lease, which may be modified, amended, supplemented, renewed, and/or extended. The agreement pertains to the premises where the Bojangles restaurant will operate, specifying the location by address and state.
The lease addendum outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the landlord, franchisee, and franchisor (Bojangles Opco, LLC) with respect to the leased premises. It ensures that Bojangles, as the franchisor, has certain protections and rights related to the property, such as receiving notices of default or termination, the ability to assume the lease under certain conditions, and the right to ensure the premises are de-identified as a Bojangles restaurant if the franchise agreement is terminated.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the lease addendum and understand the relationship between the landlord, the franchisee, and Bojangles. It is important to note that the terms in the addendum supersede any conflicting terms in the original lease. This addendum is a critical component of the franchise agreement, ensuring that all parties are aligned and that Bojangles has the necessary control over the premises to protect its brand and system.
