What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum to the franchise agreement is required for Minnesota franchisees under specific circumstances. This addendum is integrated into the franchise agreement and is executed simultaneously with it.
The addendum is required when (A) the offer or sale of a Bojangles franchise is made in Minnesota, (B) the franchisee is a resident of Minnesota, or (C) the restaurant will be located and/or operated in Minnesota. This ensures that Minnesota state laws are considered and adhered to in the franchise agreement.
For prospective Bojangles franchisees in Minnesota, this means that the standard franchise agreement is modified to reflect specific protections and requirements under Minnesota law. These modifications address aspects such as liability waivers, franchisor compliance with Minnesota statutes regarding proprietary marks, and adherence to notice requirements for termination or non-renewal of franchise agreements.
