What are the specific requirements a Bombs Away franchisee must fulfill to be considered for expanding into additional territory?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not automatically have the right to establish additional franchised outlets or expand into new territories. To be considered for expansion, a franchisee must meet several requirements.

First, the franchisee must meet Bombs Away's then-current criteria for new franchisees, which likely includes financial stability, business experience, and other qualifications Bombs Away seeks in its franchisees. Second, the franchisee must have been in compliance with their franchise agreement at all times since opening their Bombs Away business, indicating a history of adherence to the franchise's standards and rules.

Third, the franchisee needs to have demonstrated their capability to successfully operate a multi-territory franchise. This suggests that Bombs Away will assess the franchisee's performance in their existing territory to determine if they can handle the responsibilities of managing multiple locations. Finally, the franchisee must obtain Bombs Away's agreement, meaning that even if all other criteria are met, Bombs Away has the final say in whether or not to allow the expansion.
