For what purpose is the Augusta Lawn Care franchisee allowed to cease operations during relocation?

According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care Franchise Disclosure Document, an Augusta Lawn Care franchisee may temporarily cease operations during relocation. Specifically, the franchisee is allowed to stop operating the business for a maximum of one day.

This one-day cessation of operations is solely for the purpose of moving all equipment from the old, approved location to the new, approved location. This allowance provides a brief window for the physical transfer of business assets without violating the terms of the franchise agreement.

It is important to note that this relocation is subject to Augusta Lawn Care's prior written consent and must meet several conditions, including being in good standing with the company, securing a site that is not in another franchisee's territory, and equipping the new business to meet current standards. The franchisee must also sign a new franchise agreement and a general release of claims against Augusta Lawn Care.
