Under what conditions is the Addendum executed for a Bens Soft Pretzels franchise agreement?

According to the 2025 Bens Soft Pretzels Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several addenda that may be executed depending on the specific circumstances of the franchise agreement. One addendum is related to Mobile Stores. If a franchisee is granted the right to operate a Mobile Store, a signed Mobile Store Addendum is required. This addendum outlines the terms and conditions specific to the operation of the mobile unit, in addition to the standard franchise agreement terms.

Another addendum is the Captive Venue Addendum. This addendum is used when the Bens Soft Pretzels store will be located in a captive market location. This addendum modifies the original franchise agreement to account for the unique aspects of operating within a captive venue, such as limitations on selling outside the authorized location and the absence of an exclusive territory.

Additionally, there are state-specific addenda. For instance, there's an addendum for franchises sold in California to comply with California statutes and regulations, and another for Illinois franchisees addressing specific legal requirements in that state. These addenda amend the franchise agreement to ensure compliance with local laws. Finally, an addendum is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Franchise Agreement.
