What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Multi-Unit Development Agreement (MUDA) outlines the terms and conditions for developing multiple Antioch Pizza Shop franchises. Item 22 of the FDD lists the contracts that a franchisee will need to review, including the Multi-Unit Development Agreement and its exhibits.
The MUDA includes several exhibits that provide further details. Exhibit A describes the development area for each franchise, while Exhibit B outlines the development schedule, specifying the dates for signing franchise agreements, leases, or purchase agreements, and the commencement of operations. Exhibit C includes the Guaranty and Assumption of Obligations, which must be executed by all owners of the developer.
The agreement also stipulates that a separate Franchise Agreement must be executed for each Antioch Pizza Shop Restaurant developed, and the individual franchise fee must be paid. These individual franchise agreements are independent of the MUDA, and in case of conflict, the Franchise Agreement takes precedence. The MUDA and its exhibits are crucial for understanding the obligations and rights of both the franchisor and the developer in establishing multiple Antioch Pizza Shop locations.
