What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual gross sales range for full-size restaurants with the bone-in chicken menu, combining both franchised and company-operated locations, was $443,621 to $7,712,488 during the period from January 1, 2024, to December 29, 2024. The data encompasses 713 restaurants. The median gross sales for these restaurants was $2,128,382, and the average gross sales was $2,351,232.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, this indicates the potential revenue variability within the Bojangles system. Factors such as location, management, and local market conditions can significantly influence a restaurant's sales performance. The FDD notes specific exclusions from this data, including restaurants not open for the entire year, those that transferred ownership during the year, those temporarily closed for remodeling, and those that ceased operations.

The range provides an overview of what existing Bojangles restaurants have achieved, but the FDD explicitly states that a new franchisee's individual financial results may differ. The document also emphasizes that these figures are unaudited and based on royalty reports submitted by franchisees and internal reports from company-operated restaurants. Prospective franchisees should request substantiation for these figures and consult with financial advisors to assess the potential revenues and expenses for their specific location.

It is important to note that while some Bojangles restaurants have attained these sales levels, there is no guarantee that a new franchisee will achieve similar results. The FDD advises caution and encourages prospective franchisees to report any unauthorized financial performance representations to Bojangles's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and relevant state regulatory agencies.
