What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not allowed to relocate their restaurant without prior written approval from Beggars Pizza. Beggars Pizza retains the sole discretion to withhold approval for relocation.
This means that as a Beggars Pizza franchisee, you cannot move your restaurant to a new location without the franchisor's permission. Beggars Pizza has the right to deny a relocation request for any reason, or no reason at all.
This clause gives Beggars Pizza significant control over the location of its franchises and allows them to manage the brand's presence and market coverage. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider this restriction and discuss potential relocation scenarios with Beggars Pizza before signing the franchise agreement.
