What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beef O Bradys FDD, franchisees are obligated to comply with all modifications to the System Standards within the time period specified by Beef O Bradys. These modifications may require additional capital investment into the Family Sports Pub and/or cause higher operating costs. However, these modifications will not alter the franchisee's fundamental status and rights under the Franchise Agreement.
Beef O Bradys will not require franchisees to make any Capital Modifications when such investment cannot reasonably be amortized during the remaining term of the agreement, including eligible successor periods, unless Beef O Bradys agrees to extend the franchise term so that the additional investment may be amortized. An exception to this amortization requirement is if the investment is necessary to comply with applicable laws.
Beef O Bradys agrees to give franchisees up to 90 days to comply with required Capital Modifications. However, if a Capital Modification requires an expenditure of more than $20,000, Beef O Bradys agrees to provide up to 180 days from the date of the request to comply with the Capital Modification.
