What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Capriottis Sandwich Shop FDD, the 'Accepted Location' for a franchise is specified in Exhibit 2, which is attached to and becomes part of the Franchise Agreement. This exhibit is also referenced as part of the Site Selection Addendum, which is an integral part of the Franchise Agreement.
For prospective Capriottis Sandwich Shop franchisees, this means that the exact physical address or location where they will operate their franchise is formally documented and agreed upon by both the franchisee and franchisor. This location is not just a verbal agreement but a legally binding part of the franchise agreement.
The FDD also includes an exhibit for a 'Franchise Agreement Amendment for Virtual Kitchen Operations,' indicating that Capriottis Sandwich Shop franchises can operate from non-traditional locations such as ghost kitchens or mobile kitchens. In this case, the 'Approved Location' is acknowledged as this type of kitchen. This provides flexibility in choosing a location, but it's crucial to understand how the terms of the Franchise Agreement may be modified to reflect the nature of a mobile kitchen.
Upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, if Capriottis Sandwich Shop does not acquire the lease for the Accepted Location, the franchisee is responsible for modifying the location to differentiate it from other Capriottis Sandwich Shop restaurants, unless otherwise directed by the franchisor. This ensures that the location does not continue to represent the Capriottis Sandwich Shop brand after the franchise agreement ends.
