What documentation is considered adequate by Bojangles to demonstrate honorable discharge from the United States military for veteran status?

According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a "Veteran" is defined as someone who provides Bojangles with a DD Form 214 or other documentation that Bojangles deems adequate. This documentation must demonstrate an honorable discharge from the United States military.

This definition is important because Bojangles may offer certain incentives or programs for veterans. To qualify for these benefits, a prospective franchisee must provide the specified documentation to prove their veteran status. The fact that Bojangles retains the discretion to determine what other documentation is adequate means that a DD Form 214 is not strictly required, but is explicitly accepted.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, it is important to understand exactly what documentation, beyond the DD Form 214, Bojangles will accept to verify veteran status. This is especially important if a franchisee does not have a DD Form 214 readily available. They should contact Bojangles franchise sales team to confirm what alternative documentation would be acceptable to ensure eligibility for any veteran incentive programs.
