Is a Bojangles franchisee's ability to transfer their interest in the franchise agreement subject to other agreements with the franchisor?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's ability to transfer any interest in the franchise agreement is subject to the terms of any other agreements between the franchisee and Bojangles. This includes any development agreements that may impose additional conditions and limitations on the franchisee's right to transfer their interest in the agreement.

This means that if a prospective Bojangles franchisee has entered into any other agreements with Bojangles, such as a development agreement to open multiple locations, the terms of those agreements will also govern the franchisee's ability to sell or transfer their franchise. These additional agreements could place further restrictions or requirements on the transfer process beyond those outlined in the standard franchise agreement.

For example, a development agreement might require the franchisee to have opened a certain number of locations before being allowed to transfer any of their franchise rights. Alternatively, it could give Bojangles the right of first refusal to purchase the franchise if the franchisee decides to sell. Therefore, it is crucial for prospective franchisees to carefully review all agreements with Bojangles to fully understand the limitations on their ability to transfer their franchise in the future.
