What documents should I review to understand the renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution terms for a Bojangles franchise?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to understand the specific provisions regarding renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution, you should carefully review the Franchise Agreement (FA), Individual Franchise Agreement (IFA), Renewal Franchise Agreement (RFA), and Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement (EFA). These agreements are attached to the disclosure document and contain the detailed terms governing the franchise relationship.

Specifically, Item 17 of the FDD provides tables summarizing key provisions within these agreements. For instance, the tables outline sections related to renewal or extension of the term, termination by the franchisor with or without cause, franchisee obligations upon termination or non-renewal, conditions for transfer, and dispute resolution methods such as arbitration or mediation. The tables also point to the specific sections within each agreement (FA, IFA, RFA, EFA) where these provisions are detailed.

Therefore, a prospective Bojangles franchisee should consult both the summary tables in Item 17 and the full text of the relevant agreements to fully understand their rights and obligations regarding renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution. Paying close attention to the specific sections referenced in the tables will provide a comprehensive understanding of these critical aspects of the franchise relationship.
