What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide the exact fees required to be paid to Hardees under the sublease, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document discusses subleasing in general, it does not specify the exact amounts or conditions related to sublease payments. The document mentions that if the restaurant is leased or subleased, the franchisee should try to get the landlord's consent to include lease provisions required by Hardees. To get a better understanding of the costs associated with subleasing, a prospective franchisee should ask Hardees for more details about the specific sublease terms and payment obligations.
