What is the simultaneous Franchise Agreement for regarding Antioch Pizza Shop?

According to the 2025 FDD, Antioch Pizza Shop requires that a simultaneous Franchise Agreement be entered into with the Developer for the establishment of the first Antioch Pizza Shop franchised restaurant. This agreement occurs at the same time as the multi-unit development agreement.

This means that if you are entering into a development agreement to open multiple Antioch Pizza Shop locations, you must also sign a standard franchise agreement for your first location simultaneously. This ensures that the initial restaurant is subject to the standard terms and conditions of the Antioch Pizza Shop franchise system.

This simultaneous agreement ensures that the developer is immediately committed to operating at least one location under the standard franchise terms while also planning for future expansion. It also allows Antioch Pizza Shop to maintain control over the initial outlet and ensure compliance with their system standards from the outset.
