What documentation does Bojangles require to verify 'Veteran' status for eligibility in the Development Incentive Program?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to verify veteran status for the Development Incentive Program, a person must provide Bojangles with a DD Form 214 or other adequate documentation, as determined by Bojangles, demonstrating honorable discharge from the United States military.

This means that prospective Bojangles franchisees who are veterans and wish to participate in the Development Incentive Program must submit a DD Form 214 as proof of their veteran status. Bojangles retains the discretion to accept alternative documentation if the DD Form 214 is unavailable, but the documentation must demonstrate an honorable discharge from the U.S. military.

It is important for veterans to gather the necessary documentation to demonstrate their eligibility for the program. The Development Incentive Program offers benefits such as a 50% reduction of the then-current franchise fee on the first two restaurants developed under the program, and a reduced royalty fee for three years. Ensuring that the documentation is complete and acceptable to Bojangles is crucial for accessing these incentives.
