What This Means (2025 FDD)

This is a standard practice in franchising, allowing the franchisor to ensure that the location aligns with their brand and business model.
If Antioch Pizza Shop and the franchisee cannot agree on a site, the franchisee is responsible for finding an alternative location and submitting it for approval. The franchisee has a limited time frame to secure a site and open their business. Specifically, the franchisee must obtain site approval within 6 months of signing the Franchise Agreement.
Furthermore, the Antioch Pizza Shop location must be fully stocked, staffed, and open to the public within 12 months of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement, highlighting the importance of efficient site selection and development.
