If required by Buona, does the franchisee have to execute and deliver separate Franchise Agreements for each Brand?

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a separate Franchise Agreement must be executed for each additional franchised restaurant. Specifically, a single brand or dual brand Franchise Agreement is required for each new location. The terms and conditions of each Franchise Agreement will then govern the establishment and operation of that specific franchised restaurant.

This means that if a franchisee plans to open multiple Buona restaurants, each location will operate under its own distinct Franchise Agreement. Each agreement will outline the specific obligations, fees, and operational guidelines for that particular restaurant. This approach allows Buona to tailor the terms of each franchise to the specific location and circumstances.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review the terms of each Franchise Agreement before signing, as these agreements are independent of the Development Agreement. Any conflicts between the Development Agreement and a specific Franchise Agreement will be resolved in favor of the Franchise Agreement, highlighting its importance. This ensures that each restaurant's operation is governed by its own specific contract, providing clarity and legal certainty for both the franchisee and Buona.
