If, during the term of the Franchise Agreement, you wish to relocate your Restaurant, or if the Restaurant is damaged or destroyed and cannot be repaired within 60 days, you must submit to us in writing the materials we require to consider your request, including information concerning the proposed new location for the Restaurant. You must also meet certain other requirements, such as being in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, the location meets our then-current requirements for a Restaurant and is located within your Designated Territory, and you must sign our then-current form of Franchise Agreement. If we permit you to relocate inside the boundaries of your Designated Territory, you will not pay a new initial franchise fee when you sign the new Franchise Agreement, and we will not charge a relocation fee. If you request to relocate outside your Designated Territory, you will pay to us a relocation fee equal to 100% of the then-current initial franchise fee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Restaurant is damaged or destroyed and cannot be repaired within 60 days, the franchisee must submit a written request to Bb.Q Chicken with the materials required for consideration. This includes information concerning the proposed new location for the Restaurant.
In addition to the written request, the franchisee must meet other requirements to be approved for relocation. These requirements include being in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, ensuring the new location meets Bb.Q Chicken's then-current requirements for a Restaurant, and that the location is within the franchisee's Designated Territory. The franchisee must also sign Bb.Q Chicken's then-current form of Franchise Agreement.
If Bb.Q Chicken permits the franchisee to relocate inside the boundaries of their Designated Territory, the franchisee will not have to pay a new initial franchise fee when signing the new Franchise Agreement, and Bb.Q Chicken will not charge a relocation fee. However, if the franchisee requests to relocate outside their Designated Territory, they must pay Bb.Q Chicken a relocation fee equal to 100% of the then-current initial franchise fee. This policy ensures that franchisees are incentivized to remain within their designated territory while also providing a pathway for relocation if necessary, subject to Bb.Q Chicken's approval and adherence to specific conditions.
