What must a Bojangles developer do to comply with the Equipment Reimbursement Incentive Program regarding development procedures for each Qualifying Restaurant?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer participating in the Equipment Reimbursement Incentive Program must adhere to specific development procedures for each Qualifying Restaurant. These procedures include complying with Bojangles's current site submittal review and approval process. This means the developer must submit the proposed site for review and obtain approval from Bojangles before proceeding with development. Additionally, the developer must execute Bojangles's standard form of Equipment Reimbursement Incentive Program Addendum to the Bojangles Franchise Agreement. This addendum formalizes the agreement and reflects the specific incentives of the program.

Complying with the site submittal review and approval process ensures that the location meets Bojangles's standards and is likely to be successful. This process likely involves submitting detailed information about the site, such as demographics, traffic patterns, and competition. Executing the Equipment Reimbursement Incentive Program Addendum to the Franchise Agreement legally binds both parties to the terms of the incentive program, providing clarity and protection for both Bojangles and the developer.

These requirements are designed to ensure that new Bojangles restaurants are developed in a manner that aligns with the brand's standards and maximizes the chances of success. By adhering to these procedures, developers can access the benefits of the Equipment Reimbursement Incentive Program while contributing to the overall quality and consistency of the Bojangles franchise system.
