What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to the 2024 Burros Fries Franchise Disclosure Document, several conditions must be met by the franchisee as part of the franchise agreement. The franchisee is responsible for selecting a site for their Burros Fries business, and if leasing or purchasing property, Burros Fries must review and approve the lease or purchase contract before it is signed.

The franchisee is required to purchase specific kitchen equipment, furnishings, fixtures, décor items, and signage from Burros Fries, its affiliates, or approved vendors. This is to maintain the consistent decoration and outfitting of a Burros Fries business. The franchisee must also lease or purchase all products, supplies, kitchen equipment, and services from approved sources to ensure the high quality and uniformity of products and services. Failure to comply with these purchasing requirements may result in the termination of the franchise agreement.

The franchise agreement for a Burros Fries business is granted for an initial term of ten years, subject to earlier termination. The franchisee has the option to renew the agreement for up to two additional terms of ten years each, provided that Burros Fries is still offering franchises at that time. To renew, the franchisee must provide written notice within a specific timeframe, not be in default under any agreement with Burros Fries, and have complied with all terms and conditions of all agreements during their terms.
