What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are awarded a protected territory that includes up to three miles driven in any direction from the franchise business location. However, Burros Fries retains the right to modify this territory size.
Specifically, Burros Fries reserves the right to grant a territory that is larger or smaller than the standard three-mile radius. This flexibility allows Burros Fries to account for factors such as population density. The population data used to determine territory size will be based on the most recently published data from the U.S. Census Bureau or another source that Burros Fries indicates.
This reservation of rights means that a prospective Burros Fries franchisee's territory could be larger or smaller than initially expected, depending on the specific location and the factors considered by Burros Fries. While the standard territory is up to three miles, franchisees should be aware that this is not a guarantee and can be adjusted at the discretion of Burros Fries.
