Does the Aw Franchise Agreement specify any consequences if the franchisee fails to secure the specified location for the Papa Ray's Pizza Restaurant?

According to the 2025 Aw Franchise Disclosure Document, failure to locate and secure a suitable site for the Papa Ray's Pizza Restaurant as outlined in the agreement can lead to consequences under the franchise agreement. Specifically, Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.6 of the agreement detail the requirements for securing a suitable site and opening the restaurant for business.

Additionally, the franchisee must satisfactorily complete the training program as provided in Paragraph 5.1. Failure to meet these requirements, including securing a suitable location, constitutes grounds for potential action by Aw, though the specific actions Aw may take are not detailed in this section.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review Paragraphs 4.1, 4.6, and 5.1 of the Aw Franchise Agreement to fully understand the obligations related to site selection, restaurant opening, and training completion. It would be prudent to discuss with Aw what specific remedies it may pursue if a franchisee is unable to secure a suitable location despite good-faith efforts.
