What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific location of the Buns On Fire restaurant is detailed in Exhibit "A" of the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee is granted a non-exclusive right to operate their Buns On Fire restaurant at a location approved by the franchisor. This location must align with the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.
Unless a location is already approved when the agreement is signed, the franchisee has 90 days from the agreement's effective date to select a location, which is subject to the franchisor's approval. This timeframe ensures that franchisees act promptly to secure a suitable site for their restaurant.
Once the location is specified in Exhibit "A", it cannot be changed without prior written approval from Buns On Fire. To request a change, the franchisee must be current on all obligations to the franchisor and not be in default under any agreement. If a relocation is approved, the franchisee will be required to sign the then-current form of the Franchise Agreement and pay a Relocation Fee of $2,500.
