Where is the Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisee allowed to operate the restaurant?

According to the 2025 Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's restaurant location is determined by the agreement between the franchisor and the franchisee. The specific location is documented on the Franchise Agreement Summary Page.

Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt retains the right to allow operation of restaurants anywhere, including in the vicinity and market area of the Restaurant Location. The franchisor has the right to operate and license others to operate restaurants anywhere, including near the franchisee's location. This means that while a franchisee is granted a specific location, Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt does not guarantee exclusive rights to that market area.

This lack of exclusivity is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors often seek to expand their brand presence. However, it's crucial for prospective Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisees to understand that they may face competition from other company-owned or franchised locations, even in their immediate vicinity. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the market potential of their proposed location, considering the possibility of future competition from within the Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt system.
