According to the 2025 Burneys Sweets More Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have a guaranteed right to open additional Burneys Sweets More businesses. The agreement explicitly states that franchisees have no right of first refusal or other options to open additional locations. This means that even if a franchisee is successful and wishes to expand, Burneys Sweets More is not obligated to allow them to open another franchise.

However, the FDD also indicates that Burneys Sweets More retains the right to establish or operate Burneys Sweets More businesses in Non-Traditional Locations anywhere in the world, including within a franchisee's territory. Non-Traditional Locations include enclosed malls, commercial kitchens, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, hospitals, military installations, schools, airports, parks (including theme parks), sports arenas, traveling carts or food trucks, and similar venues. This clause suggests that while franchisees do not have an explicit option to open additional traditional locations, Burneys Sweets More could potentially allow them to operate in these Non-Traditional Locations, although this is not guaranteed.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that growth through additional franchised locations is not a guaranteed path. If expansion is a key goal, it would be prudent to discuss the possibility of opening additional units, particularly in Non-Traditional Locations, with Burneys Sweets More during the due diligence process. Understanding Burneys Sweets More's long-term development plans and openness to awarding additional franchises to existing franchisees is crucial.
