What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees seeking to renew their franchise agreement must pay a renewal fee. This fee is equivalent to 50% of Bojangles's then-current franchise fee. In addition to the renewal fee, franchisees must meet several other conditions to qualify for renewal.
These conditions include providing timely written notice of their intent to renew, renovating and modernizing the restaurant premises to meet current standards, and ensuring that both the franchisee and their affiliates are in full compliance with all agreements with Bojangles and its affiliates. Franchisees must also satisfy all monetary obligations and have the right to remain in possession of the restaurant premises for the renewal term.
Furthermore, franchisees are required to sign a general release, meet the then-current qualification and training requirements, and sign the current form of the Franchise Agreement. It is important to note that the current form of the Franchise Agreement may have materially different terms and conditions than the franchisee's original agreement. This means that franchisees should carefully review the new agreement to understand any changes in their rights and obligations.
