What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding location selection within the Annex Brands Franchise Agreement are not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts. However, there is a Collateral Assignment of Lease agreement that discusses the lease of the premises.
Specifically, the excerpt mentions that Annex Brands, as the Assignee, may take possession of the premises under certain conditions, such as a default by the franchisee (Assignor) under the lease or the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee must also obtain Annex Brands's consent before making any changes to the lease and must exercise options to extend or renew the lease, or Annex Brands can act on their behalf.
To fully understand the site selection process and criteria, a prospective Annex Brands franchisee should ask the franchisor for specific details on how locations are chosen, what role the franchisee has in the selection process, and what support Annex Brands provides in negotiating and securing a lease. Further clarification about site selection and approval process should be discussed with the franchisor.
