For a Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchise, what is the duration of the sublease term?

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state the duration of the sublease term for a Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchise. However, it does indicate that the sublease is subject to the term of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, the document states that the Sublessee will operate a Restaurant as the term is defined in the Franchise Agreement subject to the term of the Franchise Agreement and this Sublease.

This implies that the sublease term is linked to the duration of the Franchise Agreement. It also mentions that the Landlord may unilaterally modify the Lease for the Demised Premises in which case this Sublease Agreement may be amended. This suggests that changes to the head lease could impact the sublease agreement.

A prospective Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisee should clarify the exact length of the sublease term and how it aligns with the franchise agreement's term. It would also be prudent to understand the conditions under which the sublease could be terminated or modified, especially concerning modifications to the head lease by the Landlord. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the long-term security and financial viability of the franchise location.
