What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to make certain replacements to the premises at their own expense. Specifically, franchisees must make additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements to the premises as needed to maintain cleanliness, order, and excellent repair. These replacements can include periodic repainting or replacement of obsolete signs, furnishings, equipment, and décor, as directed by Beggars Pizza.
Furthermore, Beggars Pizza can request a refurbishment of the premises, but no more than once every five years, unless the franchisee's lease requires it sooner. This refurbishment is also at the franchisee's expense and must conform to the current building design, trade dress, color schemes, and presentation of Beggars Pizza's proprietary marks. Such refurbishment may include structural changes, remodeling, redecoration, and modifications to existing improvements.
These requirements ensure that all Beggars Pizza locations maintain a consistent brand image and meet the franchisor's standards. Failure to comply with these maintenance and refurbishment requirements could result in the franchisor taking corrective action at the franchisee's expense, in addition to other potential remedies.
