Which acknowledgments within the Noodles & Company Franchise Agreement are deleted by the Addendum?

According to the 2025 Noodles & Company Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the franchise agreement deletes specific acknowledgments. For franchisees in Minnesota, Maryland, North Dakota, and Hawaii, the addendum states that the acknowledgments in Sections 1.02 (c), (d), and (e) of the Franchise Agreement are deleted.

This deletion means that certain standard acknowledgments typically included in the main Franchise Agreement are removed for franchisees in these states. These acknowledgments likely pertain to specific legal or operational aspects of the franchise relationship. By deleting these sections, the addendum modifies the franchisee's obligations or understanding of those particular aspects.

Prospective franchisees in Minnesota, Maryland, North Dakota, and Hawaii should carefully review the addendum in conjunction with the Franchise Agreement to understand the precise impact of these deletions. It is important to understand what Sections 1.02 (c), (d), and (e) cover in the original agreement and how their removal affects the franchisee's rights and responsibilities. Consulting with a franchise attorney is advisable to fully grasp the implications of these changes.
