Who bears the expense of modifications to the premises if the Beggars Pizza franchisee fails to comply?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to make necessary modifications or alterations to the premises after the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, Beggars Pizza has the right to enter the premises and make those changes. The franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses associated with these modifications.

Specifically, upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the franchisee must make modifications or alterations to the premises to distinguish its appearance from a Beggars Pizza restaurant. These changes must also include any additional specific changes that Beggars Pizza may reasonably request.

If the franchisee fails to comply with these requirements, Beggars Pizza has the right to enter the premises to make the necessary modifications. This implies that the franchisee will ultimately be responsible for the costs incurred by Beggars Pizza in performing these modifications, although the FDD excerpt does not explicitly state who bears the cost when Beggars Pizza makes the modifications.
