What are the reasons Bojangles Franchisor reserves the right to reject a proposed site from a Franchisee?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bojangles reserves the right to reject a proposed site from a franchisee for specific reasons related to the franchisee's financial standing, compliance, and operational readiness.

Specifically, Bojangles may reject a site if the franchisee or its affiliates fail to demonstrate adequate financial resources and operational readiness to develop the site and operate the restaurant. This includes having adequate sources of capital. Bojangles wants to ensure that franchisees have the necessary funds to successfully launch and maintain the restaurant.

Additionally, Bojangles can reject a site if the franchisee or its affiliates are not in good standing under the Franchise Agreement or any other agreements with Bojangles or its affiliates. This indicates that the franchisee must maintain a positive business relationship and adhere to all contractual obligations. Furthermore, failure to adhere to any manuals, policies, and/or procedures implemented by Bojangles in connection with other agreements between Bojangles and the franchisee or its affiliates, including those related to operational standards, can also lead to site rejection. This ensures that all franchisees follow the established operational guidelines to maintain brand consistency and quality.

In summary, these conditions protect Bojangles's brand and ensure that new locations are set up for success by franchisees who are financially stable, compliant with existing agreements, and committed to following operational standards.
