What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beggars Pizza will conduct up to two on-site evaluations at its own expense as part of the site approval process, provided the franchisee has signed a Site Selection Addendum. These evaluations are conducted if Beggars Pizza deems them necessary and appropriate.
If the franchisee requires additional on-site evaluations beyond the initial two, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Beggars Pizza for all related expenses. These expenses include the costs of travel, lodging, and meals incurred by Beggars Pizza during the additional evaluations.
This policy ensures that Beggars Pizza provides initial support in site selection while also managing its costs. It also incentivizes franchisees to conduct thorough preliminary research on potential locations before requesting multiple on-site evaluations.
