If the Bojangles Franchise Agreement expires (without renewal) or is terminated or not renewed, what is the Franchisee obligated to do regarding the premises, according to the Bojangles Restaurant Form of Addendum to Lease Agreement?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically the Bojangles Restaurant Form of Addendum to Lease Agreement, if the Franchise Agreement expires without renewal or is terminated or not renewed, the franchisee is obligated to de-identify the premises as a Bojangles restaurant. This de-identification must be done at the franchisee's sole cost and expense.

Furthermore, the franchisee must allow Bojangles, its employees, or agents to enter the premises to remove any signs (both interior and exterior), décor, and materials that display any marks, designs, or logos owned by Bojangles. This access is granted if the franchisee fails to remove these items in a timely manner.

This provision ensures that upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the restaurant location no longer represents the Bojangles brand, preventing any potential confusion or misuse of the brand's identity. The financial burden of de-identifying the premises falls entirely on the franchisee, which is a standard practice in franchising to ensure brand consistency and protection.
