Is Bombs Away's agreement a necessary condition for a franchisee to establish additional franchised outlets or expand into additional territory?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees need Bombs Away's approval to establish additional franchised outlets or expand into new territories. The FDD states that franchisees do not automatically have the right to open additional locations or expand their territory.

To be considered for additional locations or territory, a franchisee must first meet Bombs Away's then-current criteria for new franchisees. This suggests that the franchisee will be evaluated as if they were a new applicant, ensuring they meet the current standards for financial stability, experience, and other qualifications that Bombs Away deems necessary.

Furthermore, the franchisee must be in full compliance with their existing franchise agreement since they first opened their Bombs Away business. This indicates that a franchisee's operational performance and adherence to the franchise agreement's terms are critical factors. The franchisee must also demonstrate the capability to successfully manage a multi-territory franchise. Finally, the franchisee must obtain Bombs Away's agreement before expanding.
