A typical Bojangles’ Restaurant will be free-standing in an urban or suburban location, with direct access to a major “going-to-work” traffic artery, in order to benefit from Bojangles’ significant breakfast business. Bojangles’ Restaurants use one of several standard building plans. Our standard traditional Restaurant building plan is 2,685 square feet. On a case-by-case basis we may permit building plans of approximately 2,500 to 3,900 square feet. We update these plans periodically to incorporate improvements in systems, layout and design. You are responsible for adapting these plans for local use and to obtain architect sealing/signing ofthese standard building plans at your expense. On a case-by-case basis, we may permit non-standard conversions of existing buildings, shopping center and in-line locations, food court, shopping mall or convenience store locations, subject to our approval of detailed conversion plans. Restaurant buildings are generally constructed of wood or metal studs and brick and stucco and have an orange mansard roof. There are a variety ofspecially designed decor packages available. A Restaurant located in or attached to a convenience store or other structure such as a shopping mall, food court, travel plaza, grocery or department store, college campus, airport location, stadium, or other non-traditional location that is substantially smaller than our standard 2,685 square foot restaurant is referred to as a “Bojangles’ Express Restaurant”. A Bojangles’ Express Restaurant may be developed by modification/conversion ofan existing convenience store layout or incorporated as part ofthe original plan for a combination convenience store and the Bojangles’ Express Restaurant or by modification/conversion .of the existing layout of another structure such as a shopping mall, food court, college campus, airport location, or stadium or as part of the original plan for such structure. Bojangles’ Express Restaurant locations vary in size from 800 to 3,800 square feet, although the Bojangles’ Express Restaurant location may be part of a larger structure or complex.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $35,000 Maximum: $35,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $2,600,320 Maximum: $3,779,700
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
