What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Relocation Extension Fee is due before Carvel signs the relocation Franchise Agreement. This fee is separate from the Relocation Fee, which is due before the franchisee relocates.
The Relocation Extension Fee is $1,500 per year that the term is extended. This fee applies if a Carvel franchisee relocates to a new site and Carvel agrees to extend the term of the Franchise Agreement (or enter into a new Franchise Agreement) to match the term of the new lease.
For a prospective Carvel franchisee, this means that if you plan to relocate your Carvel franchise and need an extension on your franchise agreement to match your new lease term, you will need to budget an additional $1,500 per year of extension. This fee must be paid before Carvel finalizes the relocation agreement, so it's an upfront cost to consider during the relocation process.
