What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, Beggars Pizza does not provide financial assistance for site selection. However, Beggars Pizza does furnish site selection guidelines and consultation that it deems advisable. Beggars Pizza will also provide on-site evaluation as it deems advisable as part of its evaluation of the franchisee's request for site approval. Beggars Pizza will conduct up to two on-site evaluations at its own expense.
For each additional on-site evaluation, the franchisee must reimburse Beggars Pizza for its related expenses, including the costs of travel, lodging, and meals. Beggars Pizza's approval of a site indicates only that Beggars Pizza believes the site complies with acceptable minimum criteria established by Beggars Pizza solely for its purposes as of the time of the evaluation.
Beggars Pizza will not be responsible for the failure of a site approved by the franchisee to meet the franchisee's expectations as to revenue or operational criteria. The franchisee's acceptance of a franchise for the operation of the Restaurant at the site is based on its own independent investigation of the suitability of the site.
