What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, some states may require registration, filing, or exemption of a franchise under laws regulating business opportunities or seller-assisted marketing plans.

This means that the standard Antioch Pizza Shop franchise agreement might need to be modified to comply with specific state laws. These modifications are typically outlined in a state-specific addendum to the franchise agreement. The purpose of these addenda is to ensure that the franchise offering adheres to the legal requirements of each state where Antioch Pizza Shop is selling franchises.

For a prospective franchisee, this implies that the terms of their franchise agreement could vary slightly depending on the state in which they are purchasing the franchise. It is important to carefully review any state-specific addenda to understand how the standard franchise agreement is modified for their particular state. Exhibit E of the FDD lists the applicable state agencies where violations can be reported.
