What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard franchise fee is either $35,000 or $20,000, depending on the agreement.
The franchise agreement states that the franchisee must pay a $35,000 franchise fee by the Construction Commencement Deadline. However, this fee may be subject to a credit if a Development Agreement applies. The credit, which could be either $5,000 or $10,000, would be deducted from the development fee paid under the Development Agreement, reducing the total franchise fee due.
Alternatively, another version of the franchise agreement states that the franchise fee is $20,000. This fee is also subject to potential credits from a Development Agreement, which could be either $5,000 or $10,000.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Bojangles which franchise fee amount applies to their specific agreement and whether they are eligible for any credits based on a Development Agreement.
