What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Amendment to Windstream Agreement" defines Windstream as the legal entity or entities that provide service to the Bonchon franchisee (referred to as "Customer") and are identified on the franchisee's bill. In simpler terms, Windstream is whatever specific Windstream-related company is billing the Bonchon franchisee for services.
This means that the specific legal entity considered "Windstream" may vary depending on the franchisee's location and the specific services they receive. It is not a single, monolithic entity but rather the specific Windstream subsidiary or affiliate providing services in a given area.
For a prospective Bonchon franchisee, this definition is important because it clarifies which entity they are actually contracting with when they sign the Windstream agreement. It also highlights the possibility that different franchisees may have agreements with different Windstream entities, depending on their service arrangements.
