Does the Hardees Franchise Agreement include a Weekly Royalty Fee appendix, and if so, what is its designation?

According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement does include an appendix specifically addressing the Weekly Royalty Fee. This appendix is designated as Appendix B.

The inclusion of Appendix B in the Hardees Franchise Agreement indicates that the weekly royalty fee is a significant and clearly defined aspect of the franchise agreement. This allows prospective franchisees to easily locate and understand the specific terms related to this ongoing fee.

Appendix B, titled "WEEKLY ROYALTY FEE", directly relates to Section 6.B. of the Franchise Agreement, which outlines the royalty fee structure. This fee is nonrefundable and is paid for the right to use the Hardees system and proprietary marks at the franchised location. Franchisees should carefully review both Section 6.B and Appendix B to fully understand how the weekly royalty fee is calculated and when it is due.
