What is the condition for a Beggars Pizza franchisee to relocate their Restaurant?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee cannot relocate their restaurant without prior written consent from Beggars Pizza. If Beggars Pizza approves the relocation, the franchisee must de-identify the former location, meaning they must remove any branding or signage that identifies it as a former Beggars Pizza restaurant.

This requirement ensures that Beggars Pizza maintains control over its brand image and prevents customer confusion. It also allows Beggars Pizza to assess the suitability of the new location, considering factors like demographics and traffic patterns, to ensure the continued success of the franchise. The written consent requirement protects Beggars Pizza's strategic interests and brand consistency.

This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements. Franchisors typically want to maintain control over location decisions to protect their brand and ensure consistent customer experience. Requiring de-identification of the former location is also common to prevent any association with a potentially underperforming or closed business.
