What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are permitted to relocate their restaurant, but it is conditional. The franchisee must first obtain written approval from Antioch Pizza Shop. Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for paying a relocation fee of $5,000.
When deciding whether to approve a relocation request, Antioch Pizza Shop may consider factors such as demographic changes affecting the current location, the restaurant's performance, and Antioch Pizza Shop's capacity to assist with the relocation. This evaluation process is typical in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure that a relocation will benefit both the franchisee and the overall brand.
For franchisees operating a Food Truck/Trailer, changing the protected area requires prior written approval from Antioch Pizza Shop, which may be withheld. However, Antioch Pizza Shop states that it will work with the franchisee to identify and designate a revised protected area if the change is due to restrictions or limitations on operating Food Truck/Trailers in the current protected area. This demonstrates a willingness to support franchisees in adapting to local regulations and operational challenges.
