What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has a specific timeframe to correct a default after receiving written notice from Bojangles. For monetary defaults, the franchisee has ten days to remedy the situation and provide evidence of the correction to Bojangles.
This ten-day period is crucial for franchisees as failure to cure the monetary default within this timeframe can lead to the termination of the Franchise Agreement. However, the agreement also acknowledges that applicable law may require a longer period to cure the default, which would supersede the ten-day rule.
It is important for prospective Bojangles franchisees to understand these default and cure provisions, as they outline the circumstances under which the franchise can be terminated and the steps a franchisee can take to prevent termination. Franchisees should also be aware of any applicable state laws that may provide additional time to cure a default.
