What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, for a Successor Anago Subfranchise Rights Agreement to take effect, both the Subfranchisor and Anago must sign and deliver the agreement. Specifically, the Subfranchisor must sign and deliver Anago's current form of the agreement to Anago within 30 days before the expiration of the initial term. Then, Anago must also sign and deliver the agreement.
This successor agreement may contain terms and conditions that are materially different from the original agreement. However, Anago will not charge a renewal fee for this successor agreement. Once both parties sign and deliver the agreement and the initial term expires, the Successor Anago Subfranchise Rights Agreement supersedes the original agreement.
It is important for prospective Anago franchisees to understand that the terms of the renewal agreement can differ significantly from the original. This means that aspects like royalty fees, operational requirements, or territory rights could change upon renewal. Franchisees should carefully review the new agreement and seek legal counsel to understand the implications of these changes before signing.
