What is the required action for a Burros Fries franchisee regarding operating their business within the specific territory?

According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must operate their business within the specific territory that has been identified in the franchise agreement. The franchisee is prohibited from opening a Burros Fries business at any location other than the 'Accepted Location' which is detailed in the agreement or any addendums.

Burros Fries determines the territory based on factors such as population, demographics, traffic patterns, proximity to major roads, parking, competition, business potential, site availability, square footage, and rent. Once a location is approved, the territory boundaries are set and will not change during the agreement, even if the population increases or decreases. The territory size and boundaries are determined by Burros Fries using topographical features like streets, highways, rivers, and mountains.

If a franchisee wishes to relocate their Burros Fries business, they must obtain prior written consent from Burros Fries. Furthermore, if a franchisee wants to open additional Burros Fries locations, each location requires a separate franchise agreement, which will outline the terms for the territory applicable to that specific location. This ensures that each franchise operates within its designated area and under the terms agreed upon with Burros Fries.
