Under what condition can the leased premises be used for something other than a Buona Franchised Business?

Based on the 2025 FDD, the document does not explicitly state under what conditions a franchisee can use the leased premises for something other than a Buona franchised business. However, the FDD does state that the franchisee must operate under the terms of the Franchise Agreement. Item 5.6 states that using the Marks outside the scope of the agreement, without prior written consent from Buona, is an infringement. This implies that operating a business other than Buona at the franchised location would be a violation of the agreement unless written consent is obtained.

Given this, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Buona regarding the possibility of operating another business from the same premises. It would be prudent to understand the specific circumstances under which such an arrangement might be considered and what restrictions or requirements would apply.

Understanding Buona's stance on this issue is crucial for any potential franchisee who may have plans for additional business ventures at the same location. Without explicit permission, doing so could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement and potential legal ramifications.
