When must an Afuri Ramen Dumpling franchisee provide written notice to exercise their renewal option?

According to Afuri Ramen Dumpling's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must provide written notice to exercise their renewal option. This notice must be given at least three months before the end of the franchise term, but no earlier than six months before the end of the franchise term established by the agreement.

In practical terms, this means an Afuri Ramen Dumpling franchisee needs to mark their calendar to ensure they don't miss the notification window. Missing this window could mean losing the opportunity to renew the franchise. The franchisee should carefully review their Franchise Agreement to determine the exact end date of the initial term to calculate the notification deadline accurately.

It's also important to note that providing notice is just one step in the renewal process. The franchisee must also meet other conditions, such as reimbursing Afuri Ramen Dumpling for costs associated with the renewal, executing a general release, and potentially completing a retraining program. Failing to meet these additional conditions could also result in the denial of the renewal.
