What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a condemnation proceeding occurs that makes it impossible or infeasible for a franchisee to continue operating their Bojangles restaurant at its current location, the franchisee must provide Bojangles with notice of their intention to open a substitute restaurant within thirty days after the final condemnation determination.

Furthermore, the franchisee is required to open a substitute Bojangles restaurant on a new site approved by Bojangles within one year of the final condemnation determination.

Failure to meet these deadlines could have significant consequences, potentially affecting the franchisee's ability to continue operating a Bojangles restaurant.
