According to the 2025 Bens Soft Pretzels Franchise Disclosure Document, the 3-Pack Addendum is not a standalone agreement but rather a part of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, it is identified as Schedule E to the Franchise Agreement. This means that the 3-Pack Addendum modifies or supplements the terms and conditions outlined in the main Franchise Agreement, rather than operating as an entirely separate contract.

For a prospective franchisee, this is an important distinction. It implies that the terms of the Franchise Agreement apply to the 3-Pack arrangement unless specifically modified by the addendum. Franchisees considering a 3-Pack option should carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and the 3-Pack Addendum to understand their rights and obligations.

This structure is common in franchising, where addenda are used to tailor the standard franchise agreement to specific circumstances, such as different types of locations or operational models. In the case of Bens Soft Pretzels, the 3-Pack Addendum likely addresses specific considerations relevant to franchisees operating multiple units under a single agreement.
