How does the Beard Papas franchise agreement define a 'Kiosk Shop'?

According to the 2025 Beard Papas Franchise Disclosure Document, a Kiosk Shop is defined as a Beard Papa's Shop that operates within a specific type of location. This definition is important for prospective franchisees as it clarifies the operational parameters and location types that qualify as a Kiosk Shop under the franchise agreement.

Specifically, the Beard Papas franchise agreement states that a Kiosk Shop is one that is established, operated, and managed from a location inside a mall, an indoor shopping area, or within another business establishment. This means that the physical setup and operational considerations for a Kiosk Shop will likely differ from a traditional storefront. Franchisees should consider factors such as mall hours, foot traffic, and the specific requirements of operating within another business's premises.

Understanding this definition is crucial for franchisees during the site selection process and when developing their business plan. The franchisor's approval of the location, as mentioned elsewhere in the FDD, will likely take this definition into account. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully evaluate potential locations to ensure they align with this definition and meet the franchisor's standards for a Kiosk Shop.
