Answer from 2025 FDD Document

.

A typical Bojangles Restaurant will be free-standing in an urban or suburban location, with direct access to a major "going-to-work" traffic artery, in order to benefit from Bojangles' significant breakfast business. Bojangles Restaurants use one of several standard building plans. Our standard traditional Restaurant building plans range from approximately 2,500 to 3,200 square feet. On a case-by-case basis we may permit building plans of approximately 1,400 to 3,900 square feet. We update these plans periodically to incorporate improvements in systems, layout and design. You are responsible for engaging, at your expense, a licensed architect, that is approved by us, to adapt these plans for local use and to obtain architect sealing/signing of these standard building plans at your expense. On a case-by-case basis, we may permit non-standard conversions of existing buildings, shopping center and in-line locations, food court, shopping mall or convenience store locations, subject to our approval of detailed conversion plans. Restaurant buildings are generally constructed of wood or metal studs and brick and stucco. There are a variety of specially designed decor packages available.

A Restaurant located in or attached to a convenience store or other structure such as a shopping mall, food court, travel plaza, grocery or department store, college campus, airport location, stadium, or other non-traditional location that is substantially smaller than our standard traditional restaurant is referred to as a "Bojangles Express Restaurant". A Bojangles Express Restaurant may be developed by modification/conversion of an existing convenience store layout or incorporated as part of the original plan for a combination convenience store and the Bojangles Express Restaurant or by modification/conversion of the existing layout of another structure such as a shopping mall, food court, college campus, airport

location, or stadium or as part of the original plan for such structure. Bojangles Express Restaurant locations vary in size from 800 to 3,800 square feet, although the Bojangles Express Restaurant location may be part of a larger structure or complex.

We may provide preliminary equipment layout and equipment schedule but we do not provide architecturally prepared plans for development of Bojangles Express Restaurants. You are responsible for developing such plans at your expense with an architect approved by us and such plans will be subject to our review and approval. All plans for modification/conversion and original plans and decor for new development are subject to our approval. The menu for a Bojangles Express Restaurant may not include all of the menu items offered in our full-size freestanding Restaurants, and instead may have a limited number of items selected from our larger approved menu. If you develop a Bojangles Express Restaurant, we typically will require you to refrain from selling or offering for sale from the convenience store or other structure outside of the Bojangles Express Restaurant items offered for sale from the Bojangles Express Restaurant and, generally, freshly prepared foods. In addition, we may require you to refrain from selling or offering for sale from the convenience store or other structure any adult books or magazines, pornographic materials, other items featuring nudity or sexual activity or any sexually oriented devices.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a typical Bojangles restaurant is a free-standing building situated in an urban or suburban area. These locations are designed to have direct access to a major "going-to-work" traffic artery, capitalizing on the brand's breakfast business. The standard traditional restaurant building plans range from approximately 2,500 to 3,200 square feet, although Bojangles may permit building plans ranging from 1,400 to 3,900 square feet on a case-by-case basis.

Bojangles also offers an alternative format known as a "Bojangles Express Restaurant." These are typically located within or attached to existing structures such as convenience stores, shopping malls, food courts, travel plazas, grocery or department stores, college campuses, airports, or stadiums. These express locations are substantially smaller than the traditional restaurants.

Bojangles Express Restaurants range in size from 800 to 3,800 square feet. While Bojangles may provide preliminary equipment layouts and schedules for these express locations, franchisees are responsible for developing architectural plans with an approved architect. The menu at a Bojangles Express Restaurant may be limited compared to the full-size restaurants. Furthermore, Bojangles typically requires that franchisees operating an Express location refrain from selling similar items from the attached convenience store or structure, especially freshly prepared foods, and may restrict the sale of adult materials.
