Does a Beggars Pizza franchisee have the right to acquire additional franchises?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have the right to acquire additional franchises automatically. However, the FDD states that franchisees may apply for the right to operate additional Beggars Pizza restaurants under separate franchise agreements. This means that while the initial franchise agreement does not grant any guaranteed rights to expand, existing franchisees are welcome to apply for new locations.

This policy is fairly common in the franchise industry, as franchisors typically want to assess the performance and capabilities of their franchisees before awarding them additional locations. This allows Beggars Pizza to maintain quality control and ensure that expansion is managed effectively.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that while you can express interest in opening multiple Beggars Pizza locations, your application will be evaluated based on factors such as your performance, financial standing, and the availability of suitable territories. It is important to discuss the criteria and process for acquiring additional franchises with Beggars Pizza during your due diligence to understand the requirements and expectations.
