What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are opening a standard, free-standing Bojangles Restaurant, the company will provide preliminary plans and specifications for the building's construction. These preliminary plans are intended to assist you and your architects in preparing the final plans and specifications for the restaurant.
However, Bojangles does not provide any plans or specifications under the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement. If you are pursuing a Bojangles Express franchise, you will not receive these preliminary plans from the franchisor.
In either case, you must engage an architect approved by Bojangles to prepare the final plans, which you must then submit to Bojangles for approval. This requirement ensures that all construction plans meet Bojangles's standards and specifications, maintaining brand consistency and quality control.
