What is the deadline for Aw to provide written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed site?

According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aw will provide written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving the franchisee's written proposal and required documents.

This means that a prospective Aw franchisee must first submit a site evaluation form, a letter of intent, a proposed lease, or other evidence that confirms their favorable prospects for obtaining the proposed site. After Aw receives this information, they have 30 days to notify the franchisee of their decision. This timeframe allows the franchisee to plan accordingly and avoid delays in securing a location for their Papa Ray's Pizza Restaurant.

It is important to note that while Aw may provide site selection assistance and grant approval of a site, this does not guarantee the success of the location. The franchisee bears the responsibility of leasing a suitable site, and Aw's approval process is designed to ensure that the chosen location meets their standards and requirements. The franchisee must have a site approved within 180 days of signing the franchise agreement, or Aw has the right to terminate the agreement.
