Is the Hardees Travel Center Development Incentive Program Addendum entered into before, after, or simultaneously with the Hardees Restaurant Franchise Agreement?

According to Hardees's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Travel Center Development Incentive Program Addendum is entered into simultaneously with the Hardees Restaurant Franchise Agreement. The addendum modifies the Franchise Agreement to reflect the franchisee's participation in the incentive program.

This means that the franchisee and Hardees both agree to the terms of the Franchise Agreement and the Travel Center Development Incentive Program Addendum at the same time. This ensures that both parties are aware of their obligations and benefits under both agreements from the outset.

For a prospective Hardees franchisee, this simultaneous execution simplifies the process, as the incentive program terms are integrated with the franchise agreement right from the beginning. It is important to carefully review both documents to fully understand the requirements and incentives associated with the Travel Center Development Incentive Program.
