What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Hardee's Restaurant Franchise Agreement is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Franchise Agreement. This indicates that the addendum is signed at the same time as the main franchise agreement, making it a concurrent part of the overall agreement.
This simultaneous execution ensures that all parties are aware of and agree to the additional terms and conditions outlined in the addendum from the outset of the franchise relationship. For franchisees, this means that the obligations and rights detailed in both the Franchise Agreement and its addendum take effect at the same time, providing clarity and legal certainty from the beginning.
It is important to note that specific addenda may apply based on the franchisee's location. For example, there are addenda required for franchisees in California, South Dakota, Illinois and Washington, addressing specific legal and regulatory requirements in those states. These addenda modify or supplement the standard Franchise Agreement to comply with local laws.
