What specific equipment is included in the Franchised Business Renovation for a Buona franchise?

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Franchised Business Renovation includes modernizing the equipment, among other things. Specifically, the renovation encompasses the building design, parking lot, landscaping, equipment, point of sale system, signs, interior and exterior decor items, fixtures, furnishings, trade dress, color scheme, presentation of trademarks and service marks, supplies, and other products and materials.

Buona requires franchisees to conduct a full reimaging, renovation, refurbishment, and modernization to meet the then-current design criteria for Buona Businesses. This includes structural changes, remodeling, redecoration, and modifications to existing improvements as necessary. However, a franchisee is only required to conduct a Franchised Business Renovation once during the term of the agreement, and is not required to do so if there is less than one year remaining in the term.

In addition to the renovation requirements, Buona franchisees must maintain the premises and all fixtures, furnishings, signs, systems, and equipment in conformity with Buona's high standards and public image. This includes making necessary additions, alterations, improvements, repairs, and replacements as required by Buona. Franchisees are responsible for keeping the Franchised Business in the highest degree of cleanliness, sanitation, and repair, including periodic repainting, repairs, or replacement of damaged or obsolete furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and replacement of obsolete signs, as Buona may reasonably direct.
