What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each Antioch Pizza Shop Restaurant franchise must be established and operated under a separate Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement will be the form offered by Antioch Pizza Shop at the time of execution, which may differ from the form offered when the Development Agreement is signed.
However, an addendum to the Franchise Agreement will incorporate terms from the Development Agreement relating to initial franchise fees. This ensures that specific terms agreed upon in the Development Agreement, particularly those concerning initial franchise fees, are integrated into each individual Franchise Agreement.
The terms and conditions of each Franchise Agreement will ultimately control the establishment and operation of each Antioch Pizza Shop Restaurant. In essence, while the Development Agreement sets the stage for the development of multiple franchises, the Franchise Agreement, as modified by the addendum, governs the specifics of each restaurant's operation.
