Based on the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee must maintain the premises in a clean and orderly condition and in excellent repair. This includes making necessary additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements at the franchisee's expense. These can include periodic repainting or replacement of obsolete signs, furnishings, equipment, and décor as Beggars Pizza may reasonably direct.
If the franchisee fails to correct deficiencies within a reasonable time, Beggars Pizza has the right, but not the obligation, to correct any deficiencies and charge the franchisee a reasonable fee for their expenses. This is in addition to any other remedies Beggars Pizza may have.
At Beggars Pizza's request, but no more than once every five years (unless required sooner by the lease), the franchisee must refurbish the premises at their expense. This refurbishment should conform to the building design, trade dress, color schemes, and presentation of the Proprietary Marks, consistent with the current image for new Beggars Pizza restaurants. This may include structural changes, remodeling, redecoration, and modifications to existing improvements.
