How long does Bojangles have to approve or disapprove my restaurant site after receiving my application for site approval?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bojangles will review a franchisee's site approval application and will either approve or reject the proposed site within 45 days of receipt. This decision is made in Bojangles's sole discretion, and if the site is rejected, Bojangles will provide comments concerning the reasons for the rejection.

This 45-day review period is a crucial consideration for prospective franchisees. Franchisees must carefully evaluate potential sites and ensure they meet Bojangles's criteria before submitting them for approval. Failure to obtain site approval before the deadline specified in the Franchise Agreement and Development Agreement can result in the termination of both agreements.

Bojangles considers various factors when reviewing sites, including population density, traffic counts, signage availability, visibility, ease of access, speed limits, parking, traffic flow, building elevations, demographics, nearby traffic generators like shopping centers and hospitals, and the potential impact on existing Bojangles restaurants. These criteria highlight the importance of thorough due diligence in site selection to increase the likelihood of approval and the future success of the franchise.
