What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bens Soft Pretzels Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Franchisee" in the 3-Pack Addendum is the entity or individual who is granted the right by Ben's Soft Pretzels Franchising Corporation to operate multiple Ben's Soft Pretzels stores. The 3-Pack Addendum is specifically referenced in the Data Sheet, which indicates that if a franchisee is signing a 3-Pack agreement, they should refer to the 3-Pack Addendum.
The Franchise Agreement defines "Franchisee" as the individual or entity identified on the Data Sheet (Schedule A) attached to the agreement. If the franchisee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity, certain provisions of the agreement also apply to its owners. The franchisee desires to develop and operate a Ben's Soft Pretzels store, and Ben's Soft Pretzels Franchising Corporation agrees to grant the franchise subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.
In the context of a Mobile Store Addendum, the franchisee desires to operate an authorized Mobile Store identified with the Ben's Soft Pretzels Trademarks, and the franchisor grants the franchisee the right to do so under the terms and conditions of both the addendum and the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee's responsibilities include operating the store at the authorized location and adhering to the terms outlined in the Franchise Agreement.
