What evidence must a Bojangles franchisee present to demonstrate their right to remain in possession of the approved location for the renewal term?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee seeking to renew their franchise agreement must provide satisfactory evidence that they have the right to remain in possession of the approved location for the duration of the renewal term. This requirement ensures that the franchisee can continue operating the Bojangles restaurant at the same location without any disruption due to lease expirations or other location-related issues.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, this means that securing and maintaining control of the restaurant location is crucial for the long-term viability of the franchise. If the location is leased, the franchisee must ensure that the lease term extends through the renewal period or that they have options to renew the lease. If the franchisee owns the property, they must provide documentation confirming their ownership and right to continue operating at that location.

The specific type of evidence that Bojangles will deem "satisfactory" is not detailed in this section of the FDD. Therefore, it is important for prospective franchisees to discuss with Bojangles what documentation is required to prove their right to remain in possession of the approved location. This could include lease agreements, lease renewal options, property deeds, or other legal documents that demonstrate the franchisee's control over the site.
