What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether Beggars Pizza conducts an on-site evaluation of a potential restaurant location is based on their discretion. If a franchisee does not have an approved location before signing the Franchise Agreement, they will sign a Site Selection Addendum. As part of evaluating the site approval request, Beggars Pizza will provide on-site evaluations as they deem advisable.
Beggars Pizza will not conduct on-site evaluations until they receive all required information and materials outlined in the Franchise Agreement. If Beggars Pizza decides an on-site evaluation is necessary, they will conduct up to two evaluations at their own expense.
For any additional on-site evaluations beyond the initial two, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Beggars Pizza for all related expenses. These expenses include the costs of travel, lodging, and meals incurred by Beggars Pizza during the evaluation. This arrangement allows Beggars Pizza to maintain control over site selection while ensuring franchisees bear the costs for extensive or repeated evaluations.
