Under what circumstances is the Addendum to the Bojangles Development Agreement required for Minnesota franchisees executed?

According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Bojangles Development Agreement is required for Minnesota franchisees under specific circumstances. This addendum is integrated into the Development Agreement and is executed when one or more of the following conditions are met:

First, the addendum is required if the offer or sale of a franchise is made in the state of Minnesota. This means that regardless of where the franchisee resides or where the restaurant will be located, if the transaction itself occurs within Minnesota, the addendum must be included.

Second, the addendum is necessary if the developer (franchisee) is a resident of Minnesota. This condition ensures that Minnesota residents who are entering into a Bojangles Development Agreement receive the protections and disclosures mandated by Minnesota law, irrespective of where the franchise is offered or where the restaurant will operate.

Third, the addendum is required if the assigned area for development is located in the state of Minnesota. This condition applies when the physical location where the Bojangles restaurants will be developed and operated is within Minnesota, ensuring compliance with state-specific regulations and providing franchisees with the rights and remedies available under Minnesota law.
