What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hardees Franchise Disclosure Document, the general form of the Hardees lease addendum is attached as Appendix G. Item 22 discusses the lease terms, stating that franchisees must provide Hardees with a copy of the fully-signed lease or sublease, along with the executed Hardees Lease Addendum in the form attached as Appendix G. This addendum likely outlines specific requirements and obligations related to the lease that Hardees requires franchisees and their landlords to adhere to.
It is important to note that while the Lease Addendum is included, the FDD does not include the full standard sublease agreement. As such, prospective franchisees should carefully review Appendix G to understand the specific lease-related obligations Hardees imposes.
Prospective franchisees should consult with Hardees directly to obtain a sample of the full sublease agreement and seek legal counsel to fully understand the terms and conditions before signing any agreements.
