What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who signs the addendum to participate in a development incentive program will not be entitled to any other incentives offered by Hardees Restaurants LLC (HR) for the Franchised Restaurant.
This condition is explicitly stated in the addendum, ensuring that franchisees understand they are limited to the specific incentives outlined in the addendum they sign. This prevents franchisees from stacking multiple incentive programs for the same restaurant.
This provision helps Hardees manage its incentive programs and ensure fair distribution of benefits among franchisees. It also encourages franchisees to carefully consider which incentive program best suits their needs before committing to an addendum. Franchisees should carefully review the terms of each incentive program and assess their eligibility and potential benefits before signing any addendum.
