What is the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement designed for?

According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement is designed for establishing and operating a franchised restaurant within or attached to a convenience store or other structure. These structures can include shopping malls, food courts, college campuses, airport locations, or stadiums. This franchise agreement caters to non-traditional locations, offering a potentially smaller footprint compared to standard, free-standing Bojangles restaurants.

Bojangles may offer a Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement with a limited menu due to space restrictions or other limitations at these locations. This means franchisees might not be able to offer the full range of menu items available at a full-size, free-standing Bojangles restaurant. The size of a Bojangles Express Restaurant can vary from 800 to 3,800 square feet, and it may be part of a larger complex.

If a franchisee develops a Bojangles Express Restaurant, Bojangles typically requires them to refrain from selling or offering for sale from the convenience store or other structure outside of the Bojangles Express Restaurant items offered for sale from the Bojangles Express Restaurant and, generally, freshly prepared foods. In addition, Bojangles may require the franchisee to refrain from selling adult books or magazines, pornographic materials, other items featuring nudity or sexual activity, or any sexually oriented devices from the convenience store or other structure. This ensures that the Bojangles brand maintains its image and standards, even within a shared location.
