What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, after a transfer of ownership, the franchisee and its owners/principals are restricted from certain activities related to the Burros Fries business. Specifically, they cannot identify themselves or any business as a current or former Burros Fries business owner or as one of the franchise owners, except with respect to other Burros Fries businesses that they own and operate.
Additionally, they are prohibited from using any mark, any colorable imitation of a mark, or other indicia of a Burros Fries business for any purpose. They also cannot utilize any trade name, trade or service mark, or other commercial symbol that suggests or indicates a connection or association with Burros Fries.
These restrictions aim to protect the Burros Fries brand and prevent confusion among customers. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider these limitations, especially if they have existing businesses or plan to remain in the same industry after transferring their Burros Fries franchise.
