What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly state whether the Irrevocable Power of Attorney requires specification of a county. However, the FDD does mention a Power of Attorney as Exhibit M.
While the FDD excerpts do not provide the specific details of Exhibit M, it does mention that Section 24.10.4 of the Franchise Agreement requires venue to be limited to the state, county, and judicial district in which the Franchisor's principal place of business is then located. However, this provision is deleted from all Franchise Agreements for residents of Maryland and/or franchises to be operated in the State of Maryland.
Prospective Buns On Fire franchisees should carefully review Exhibit M and Section 24.10.4 of the Franchise Agreement (if applicable) with a legal professional to understand the full scope and requirements of the Power of Attorney, including whether a county specification is required and how it might be affected by state-specific addenda.
