What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee's restaurant is geographically remote from other Bojangles locations, the franchisee agrees to pay incremental supplier and/or distribution costs.
Specifically, Exhibit A of the franchise agreement states that if the restaurant is not easily accessible by Bojangles's approved suppliers and distributors, the franchisee will be responsible for covering the additional costs charged by these suppliers and distributors for orders and deliveries. This condition is applicable if the franchisee acknowledges that their restaurant is geographically remote from other Bojangles restaurants as of the effective date of the agreement.
This clause ensures that franchisees operating in remote locations bear the financial burden associated with the increased logistical challenges of supplying their restaurants. Prospective franchisees should consider these potential added expenses when evaluating the financial viability of opening a Bojangles franchise in a geographically isolated area.
