What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, certain Express Restaurants were excluded from Tables H through J in Item 19, which presents financial performance representations for Fiscal Year 2024 (January 1, 2024 to December 29, 2024). These exclusions were due to specific circumstances affecting the restaurants' operations during that year. Tables H through J provide data regarding gross sales.
The reasons for excluding these Bojangles Express Restaurants include: four franchised Express Restaurants not being open for the entire year, one franchised Express Restaurant being temporarily closed for significant remodeling or rebuilding work, two franchised Express Restaurants operating seasonally at non-traditional locations and being temporarily closed for part of the year, and five franchised Restaurants offering concessions at venues with limited operating days and hours due to events.
These exclusions are important for prospective franchisees to consider because the financial performance data presented in Tables H through J is based on restaurants that operated under normal conditions for the full year. The performance of restaurants excluded from these tables may not be representative of a typical Bojangles Express Restaurant due to their limited operating periods or special circumstances. Therefore, it is essential for potential franchisees to understand the specific criteria used to compile the financial performance data and to consider how these exclusions may affect their own potential restaurant's performance.
