Does the lease agreement specify that the premises must be used solely for a Buns On Fire restaurant?

According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, the lease agreement specifies that the premises must be used solely for the operation of a Buns On Fire restaurant. Specifically, the FDD states that the premises being leased must be used only for operating a Buns On Fire restaurant while the Franchise Agreement is in effect. This requirement is part of the conditional lease assignment provisions outlined in Article 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement.

This provision ensures that the leased location is exclusively dedicated to the Buns On Fire franchise, preventing the franchisee from operating any other type of business from the same premises during the term of the franchise agreement. This protects the Buns On Fire brand and maintains uniformity across all franchise locations.

Furthermore, the lease agreement also stipulates that the lessor acknowledges Buns On Fire's standard design concepts and specifications and consents to the franchisee's use of these designs, the Marks, and any signage prescribed by Buns On Fire. This clause ensures that the franchisee adheres to the franchisor's branding and operational standards, contributing to a consistent brand image. The franchisor also requires that they receive a copy of the executed lease and any amendments to ensure compliance with these terms.
