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 a guaranteed right to relocate their business. Approval for relocation is at the discretion of Crown Gold Exchange and is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Crown Gold Exchange's policy is to consider relocation requests based on specific factors. These factors include changes in the demographics of the area, the profitability of the franchisee's current business, or if the franchisee loses their premises due to circumstances beyond their control, such as natural disasters or eminent domain.
This policy means that a franchisee cannot assume they will be allowed to move their Crown Gold Exchange business, even if they believe it would be more successful in a new location. Franchisees need to factor in the potential inflexibility of location when making their investment decision. It is important to note that relocation approval is not guaranteed, even if the franchisee experiences hardship or business challenges at their original site.
