What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee renewing their existing franchise agreement must sign the Renewal Addendum, which is included as Exhibit J to the FDD. In addition to the addendum, the franchisee must sign a new Franchise Agreement.
The Renewal Addendum modifies specific sections of the existing Franchise Agreement. For example, it replaces the fifth WHEREAS clause on Page 1 of the Franchise Agreement with language indicating the franchisee has operated a Beggars Pizza restaurant and wishes to enter into a renewal agreement. It also replaces Section 1.2 of the Franchise Agreement, concerning the Approved Location of the restaurant, stating that the franchisee will operate only at the location identified in Exhibit A and cannot relocate without prior written approval from Beggars Pizza.
This addendum ensures that the renewal reflects any updated terms or conditions Beggars Pizza may have implemented since the original agreement. It also confirms the franchisee's desire to continue operating under the Beggars Pizza system and acknowledges their understanding of the brand's standards. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit J to understand all modifications to the original franchise agreement.
