What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Appendix G to the Franchise Agreement is the Franchise Lease Addendum. This addendum is required if a franchisee chooses to lease the restaurant premises from a third-party landlord.
This means that if you, as a prospective Hardees franchisee, decide to lease your restaurant location from someone other than Hardees itself or one of its affiliates, you will need to sign this additional document. The Franchise Lease Addendum likely contains specific terms and conditions related to the lease agreement that must align with Hardees's requirements for the franchise operation.
It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review Appendix G with their legal counsel to fully understand their obligations and rights under the lease agreement in conjunction with the franchise agreement. This ensures that the lease terms do not conflict with the franchise agreement and that the franchisee is protected in their business operations.
