What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Pepsi-Cola Company is the exclusive beverage supplier for new franchisees throughout the domestic Bojangles system. As stated in the addendum to the franchise agreement, franchisees are required to exclusively offer Pepsi-Cola Company brand post-mix soft drink products and colas.
However, this exclusive designation and the choice of beverage products can be changed. Bojangles retains the option to change the exclusive designation of Pepsi-Cola as the beverage supplier.
Bojangles can exercise this option by providing written notice to the franchisee. This means that Bojangles has the right to switch to a different beverage supplier at its discretion, provided they inform the franchisee in writing. This term is part of the franchise agreement, and any breach of this addendum is considered a default under the agreement.
