What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement is required for Minnesota franchisees and is executed simultaneously with the Express Franchise Agreement. This addendum is an integral part of the agreement, incorporated fully within it.
The Minnesota Addendum to the Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement is executed under three specific circumstances. These include if the offer or sale of the franchise was made in Minnesota, if the franchisee is a resident of Minnesota, or if the Bojangles restaurant will be located or operated within the state of Minnesota.
This addendum modifies specific sections of the Express Franchise Agreement to ensure compliance with Minnesota state laws. For example, it ensures that franchisees are not required to waive rights or release liabilities protected under Minnesota Statutes §§ 80C.01 - 80C.22. It also ensures that Bojangles will comply with Minnesota Statutes regarding the protection of the franchisee's rights to use proprietary marks and will indemnify the franchisee against losses related to the use of these marks.
