What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company has the right to approve any transfer of the franchise by a franchisee. To gain approval for a transfer, several conditions must be met.
First, the franchisee must be in full compliance with the franchise agreement. Second, the person or entity to whom the franchise is being transferred (the transferee) must meet Burros Fries's qualifications for franchisees. All outstanding payments owed to Burros Fries must be paid in full before the transfer can be approved. The transferee is also required to complete the training program to Burros Fries's satisfaction.
Additionally, the franchisee must pay the transfer fee, and the transferee must agree to be bound by all the terms of the existing Franchise Agreement. Finally, the franchisee must sign and deliver any other documents that Burros Fries requires, including a release of claims. These conditions ensure that any new franchisee meets Burros Fries's standards and that the transfer process is orderly and compliant with the franchise agreement.
