Based on the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee could face legal repercussions for breaches related to ownership transfers. The document states that in the event of a breach of the agreement, Burros Fries would be irreparably injured and lack an adequate remedy at law.
Specifically, Burros Fries is entitled to enforce the agreement and seek remedies such as a temporary or permanent injunction, as well as a decree for specific performance of the agreement's terms.
