Under what circumstances can a Cinnabon Full Bakery franchisee request to relocate their Bakery?

For Full Bakeries, you may request to relocate your Bakery if you lose the right to operate at the Accepted Location or provide other business justifications for the relocation. You may not relocate your Bakery unless we approve the relocation in advance in writing. We have not established a set of conditions or criteria under which we evaluate or approve relocation requests, except that you must comply with our site approval process, must be in compliance with all terms of the Franchise Agreement, and must have the funds available to relocate the Bakery and to construct a new Bakery according to our then-current design standards. We are under no obligation to approve a proposed relocation of the Bakery. If you lose the right to occupy the premises where you are operating your Bakery, we may elect, in our sole discretion, to terminate your Franchise Agreement.

If we approve your request to relocate, in our sole discretion, then (i) the Site Agreement for the new location must comply with the Franchise Agreement, (ii) you must de-identify the former site, (iii) we may charge you a Relocation Fee (see Item 6), (iv) we may require you to pay an agreed minimum royalty to us during the period in which the Bakery is not in operation, and (v) we may require you to sign our then-current Franchise Agreement (which may have materially different terms than your existing Franchise Agreement) or an amendment to your existing Franchise Agreement. If the term of the Lease for the new location extends beyond the term of your Franchise Agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, extend the term of your existing or new Franchise Agreement to match the term of the Lease for the new location, provided you will be required to pay the Relocation Extension Fee (see Item 6).
