What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Beef O Bradys Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may require franchisees to make capital modifications to their Family Sports Pub. Beef O Bradys states that they will not require a franchisee to make capital modifications if the investment cannot be reasonably amortized during the remaining term of the agreement, including any successor periods, unless they agree to extend the franchise term to allow for amortization. An exception to this 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 will give the franchisee up to 180 days to comply from the date of the request.
Franchisees are obligated to comply with all modifications to system standards, including capital modifications, within the specified time period. However, Beef O Bradys will not require franchisees to spend more than 25% of the total high-end Item 7 expenditure estimates for specific categories (Equipment, Furniture, Fixtures & Millwork, Audio and Video Equipment, Leasehold Improvements, and Signage) in any 12-month period during the agreement term for capital modifications. Beef O Bradys reserves the right to require franchisees to re-image their Family Sports Pub when at least 75% of the Beef 'O' Brady's system has already adopted the new re-image.
