You do not have the right to relocate your business, and we have no obligation to approve any request for relocation. Our policy is to approve relocation of a franchisee's business on caseby-case basis, considering factors such as changes in demographics, profitability of your current business, or a loss of your premises due to circumstances beyond your control.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crown Gold Exchange's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have the right to relocate their business, and Crown Gold Exchange is under no obligation to approve any relocation request. However, Crown Gold Exchange's policy is to consider relocation requests on a case-by-case basis.
When evaluating a relocation request, Crown Gold Exchange will consider factors such as changes in demographics, the profitability of the franchisee's current business, or the loss of the premises due to circumstances beyond the franchisee's control. This means that if the area around the current location has experienced a significant population shift or economic downturn, or if the business is struggling financially, Crown Gold Exchange may be more likely to approve a relocation. Similarly, if the current location is no longer available due to unforeseen events like a fire or natural disaster, a relocation request might be considered.
This policy provides some flexibility for franchisees facing challenging circumstances, but it also highlights the importance of carefully selecting the initial location. The decision to approve a relocation ultimately rests with Crown Gold Exchange, and there is no guarantee that a request will be granted. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and discuss location strategy thoroughly with Crown Gold Exchange before signing a franchise agreement.
