"Upon the execution of this Agreement, you shall be assigned a territory (the "Designated Territory") that will also be described in Exhibit A of the Addendum. You understand and acknowledge that if your Designated Territory includes a Non-Traditional Site (as described in Section 1.5 of the Franchise Agreement), the Non-Traditional Site is not a part of your Designated Territory and you shall have no right to operate the Food Truck at any Non-Traditional Site without our prior written permission."

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit A to the Food Truck Addendum depicts the franchisee's designated territory. Specifically, Section 1.4 of the Franchise Agreement, concerning the Designated Territory, is amended for food truck franchises. This amendment states that the territory assigned to the franchisee will be described in Exhibit A of the addendum.
This means that for franchisees operating a Crave food truck, Exhibit A serves as a visual or written representation of the geographic area within which they are authorized to operate. It defines the boundaries of their exclusive or primary operating area, which is a critical aspect of the franchise agreement.
However, the addendum also clarifies that if the Designated Territory includes a Non-Traditional Site (as described in Section 1.5 of the Franchise Agreement), the Non-Traditional Site is not a part of the franchisee's Designated Territory unless Crave provides prior written permission. This distinction is important because it restricts the franchisee from operating at specific locations, such as event venues or transportation hubs, without explicit approval from Crave. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit A and understand the limitations and permissions associated with their Designated Territory, especially concerning Non-Traditional Sites.
