What is the Beard Papas franchisee's obligation if Schedule 1 is executed with a specific location?

According to the 2025 Beard Papas Franchise Disclosure Document, if Schedule 1 is completed and signed by the franchisor with a specific location for the franchisee's shop, the franchisee is obligated to develop and operate the franchised business at that designated location. This means the franchisee commits to establishing and running their Beard Papas shop at the site approved and documented in Schedule 1.

This obligation is significant because it legally binds the franchisee to a particular location. If the franchisee fails to develop and operate the business at the approved location, it could be considered a breach of the franchise agreement. The franchisee should therefore carefully evaluate the location before Schedule 1 is executed.

If Schedule 1 is not completed at the time of signing the agreement, the franchisee is responsible for finding and securing a shop location, which must then be approved by Beard Papas. This approval must be in writing and evidenced by Beard Papas's execution of Schedule 1 with the specific shop location identified. This process ensures that all locations meet the brand's standards and have the potential to succeed.
