Azal_Coffee Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
[Item 12: TERRITORY]
Franchise Location; Relocation
You must operate your Store only from a specific location, which will be designated in Item 1 on Appendix A to the Franchise Agreement.
You cannot relocate your franchise without our approval. If your lease or sublease for the Franchise Location expires or terminates without your fault or if the Franchise Location is condemned, destroyed or rendered unusable or you have other reasonable business reasons to relocate, you may request that we consent to the relocation of the Franchise Location. If the new location proposed by you is approved by us as a viable location and you have submitted a lease to us for review as provided in Section 6.2 of the Franchise Agreement, we will not unreasonably withhold consent to the relocation of the Franchise Location. The factors we consider for approving a new location are the same factors we consider for your initial location (see Item 11). We will not be required to consent to a new location if the location is outside of your Protected Area or if we believe the new location will encroach on the location of another Store. If the Franchise Location becomes unusable for the Store through no fault of yours and a substitute location is not available within a reasonable period of time, the Franchise Agreement will terminate on conclusion of operation of the Store at the Franchise Location.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific location for the Azal Coffee store will be designated in Item 1 on Appendix A to the Franchise Agreement. This means that the exact address and details of the approved location will be formally documented within this appendix, which is part of the overall agreement between Azal Coffee and the franchisee.
This designation is important because the franchisee must operate their Azal Coffee store only from this approved location. The franchisee cannot relocate the franchise without Azal Coffee's approval. If the franchisee wants to relocate, Azal Coffee will consider factors similar to those used for the initial location approval, as detailed in Item 11 of the FDD. Azal Coffee will not approve a new location outside of the franchisee's protected area or if it encroaches on another Azal Coffee store's location.
If the Franchise Location becomes unusable through no fault of the franchisee and a substitute location is not available within a reasonable period, the Franchise Agreement will terminate upon conclusion of operation of the Store at the Franchise Location. This highlights the importance of securing a viable and sustainable location from the outset, as the agreement's continuation depends on it.
