What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when using Bojangles's Proprietary Marks, a franchisee must identify themselves as the owner of the franchised business. This identification must be included on invoices, order forms, receipts, and contracts.
Additionally, the franchisee is required to display a notice indicating their ownership. The specific content and form of this notice, as well as its location on the premises, will be designated by Bojangles in writing. This ensures that customers and other parties are aware that the business is independently owned and operated under a franchise agreement.
This requirement is in place for the duration of the franchise agreement. It is designed to clarify the relationship between Bojangles as the franchisor and the franchisee as the local business owner, which is a common practice in franchising.
