What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Pepsi-Cola form of participating franchisee agreement is found in Exhibit I. This agreement outlines the terms under which a Bonchon franchisee participates in a beverage sales agreement with PepsiCo Sales, Inc. and Pepsi-Cola Advertising and Marketing, Inc.
The agreement mandates that participating Bonchon franchisees exclusively purchase and promote Pepsi-Cola's beverage products. This includes corporate-branded postmix products for fountain beverages and packaged beverage products like soft drinks, teas, and juices. The franchisee must sell these products in all current and future Bonchon outlets they own or operate within the United States.
This agreement ensures that Bonchon franchisees receive support, potentially in lieu of other discounts or rebates they might otherwise be entitled to from Pepsi-Cola. Franchisees are responsible for any taxes or fees associated with receiving funding, equipment, or packaged products equipment from Pepsi-Cola under this agreement. They also cannot impose any common area maintenance fees or taxes on Pepsi-Cola or its bottlers for the space allocated to the equipment.
The agreement also includes clauses regarding non-disclosure, stating that neither party can disclose the terms and conditions without the other's consent, unless required by law. In the event of an acquisition or merger of the franchisee, the acquiring party must ratify the agreement. The agreement is governed by the laws of New York.
