What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 8 outlines the franchisee's obligations regarding site selection, acquisition, and lease under various agreements. Specifically, for the Development Agreement (DA), these obligations are detailed in Section IV. For the Individual Franchise Agreement (IFA) and the Express Franchise Agreement (EFA), relevant details are found in Section V. The Franchise Agreement (FA) and Renewal Franchise Agreement (RFA) do not have specific sections listed for site selection/acquisition/lease obligations.
This means that if you are entering into a Development Agreement, Individual Franchise Agreement, or Express Franchise Agreement with Bojangles, Section IV or V respectively will be important for understanding your responsibilities related to finding and securing a location. However, if you are signing a standard Franchise Agreement or Renewal Franchise Agreement, the FDD does not specify a particular section that covers these obligations.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review these sections within their specific agreement type to understand the full scope of their site-related obligations. Franchisees entering into a Franchise Agreement or Renewal Franchise Agreement should seek clarification from Bojangles regarding site selection, acquisition, and lease obligations, as the FDD does not explicitly point to a relevant section.
