Who completes the Franchise Premises address in the Afuri Ramen Dumpling Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2024 Afuri Ramen Dumpling Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for selecting the site for the Franchise Premises. If the location is not determined when the agreement is executed, the franchisee must select a site within the search area outlined in Exhibit 1 of the agreement and in accordance with the agreement terms.

This means that the franchisee has the initial responsibility for finding a suitable location for their Afuri Ramen Dumpling restaurant. The franchisee needs to identify a site that meets the criteria outlined in Exhibit 1 and complies with the Franchise Agreement. This involves conducting market research, assessing demographics, and ensuring the location aligns with Afuri Ramen Dumpling's brand standards and placement criteria.

While the franchisee is responsible for the initial site selection, Afuri Ramen Dumpling retains some control over the final location. The selected site must be within the designated search area and meet the franchisor's criteria. This ensures that new locations align with the brand's overall strategy and market development plans. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit 1 and discuss site selection criteria with Afuri Ramen Dumpling to fully understand their responsibilities and the franchisor's expectations.
