Under what conditions is the Addendum to the Individual Franchise Agreement executed for a Bojangles franchise?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum to the Individual Franchise Agreement is executed simultaneously with the execution of the Individual Franchise Agreement itself.

For franchisees in specific states like Minnesota, North Dakota, and Rhode Island, addenda are required. These addenda address specific legal considerations and requirements within those states. For example, the North Dakota addendum addresses issues such as restrictive covenants, arbitration proceedings, and waivers of trial by jury, ensuring the franchise agreement complies with North Dakota law. The Minnesota addendum includes clauses that protect franchisees from being required to waive rights granted by Minnesota statutes.

Furthermore, the standard Addendum to the Individual Franchise Agreement includes stipulations regarding beverage suppliers, specifically requiring franchisees to offer Pepsi-Cola products exclusively, though this is subject to change by Bojangles. The addendum also clarifies that its terms supersede any conflicting terms in the Individual Franchise Agreement, reinforcing the importance of the addendum's provisions.
