You do not have the right to relocate your business, and we have no obligation to approve any request for relocation.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have the right to relocate their business. Desi District is under no obligation to approve any relocation request. However, Desi District's policy is to consider relocation requests on a case-by-case basis.
When considering a relocation, Desi District will take into account factors such as changes in demographics, the profitability of the current business, or the loss of the premises due to circumstances beyond the franchisee's control. This means that while relocation is not guaranteed, franchisees may have an opportunity to move their business if they can demonstrate a valid reason and if it aligns with Desi District's criteria.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that securing a new location is not an assured right. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the initial location and its potential for long-term success. They should also discuss the possibility of relocation with Desi District during their due diligence to understand the specific conditions under which a relocation might be considered and approved.
