What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Managing Owner is unable or unwilling to continue meeting their obligations, or if Bojangles determines they no longer qualify, the franchisee must promptly designate a new Managing Owner. This replacement Managing Owner is subject to the same conditions and qualifications as the original.
The replacement Managing Owner must successfully complete Bojangles's initial training program within 180 days of their appointment. This ensures the new Managing Owner is adequately prepared to handle the responsibilities of the role.
This requirement ensures that each Bojangles franchise always has a qualified individual overseeing operations and maintaining brand standards. It protects Bojangles's interests by ensuring a smooth transition and continued competent management, and it is a fairly standard requirement in franchising.
