What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in 2022, no Bojangles's outlets ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor in any state. The data provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines outlet information, including openings, closures, and changes in ownership. The table includes specific columns for 'Terminations,' 'Non-Renewals,' 'Reacquired By Franchisor,' and 'Ceased Operation other reasons.'
Specifically, when reviewing the data for 2022, the 'Ceased Operation other reasons' column indicates the number of outlets that closed for reasons other than the typical end of a franchise agreement or repurchase by Bojangles. In North Carolina, 1 Bojangles's outlet ceased operation for other reasons. In South Carolina, 3 Bojangles's outlets ceased operation for other reasons. In Tennessee, 3 Bojangles's outlets ceased operation for other reasons. In Virginia, 1 Bojangles's outlet ceased operation for other reasons.
Across all states listed in the provided FDD excerpt, the number of Bojangles's outlets that ceased operation for 'other reasons' in 2022 does not reach 5 in any single state. This suggests that while some closures occurred for various reasons, no state experienced the closure of five or more outlets due to factors outside of the standard termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition processes.
