What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crown Gold Exchange's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, to renew a franchise, a franchisee must give advance notice to Crown Gold Exchange. The FDD does not specify the exact amount of advance notice a franchisee must provide to renew their franchise agreement.
In addition to providing advance notice, a franchisee must be in compliance with all contractual obligations to Crown Gold Exchange and third parties. They must also renovate to Crown Gold Exchange's then-current standards, sign the then-current form of franchise agreement and related documents (including a personal guaranty), and sign a general release (unless prohibited by applicable law).
It is important to note that if a franchisee continues operating their Crown Gold Exchange franchise after the expiration of the term without a renewal agreement, Crown Gold Exchange may either terminate the operation at any time or deem the franchisee to have renewed their agreement for an additional term.
Because the exact amount of advance notice is not specified in the FDD, a prospective franchisee should ask Crown Gold Exchange for clarification on the required timeframe for renewal notification.
