What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the time limit for them to approve or disapprove your proposed site is 30 days. This 30-day period starts after you have submitted all the required documents and information about the site to Desi District.
It is important to note that if you and Desi District cannot agree on a site, you may not be able to meet the deadline for opening your franchise as stated in the franchise agreement. If you fail to meet this deadline, and unless Desi District agrees to extend it, you will be in default, which could lead to the termination of your franchise agreement.
Site approval is a critical step in the franchising process, and this clause highlights the importance of thorough preparation and communication with Desi District. Prospective franchisees should ensure they understand all the required information and documents needed for site approval to avoid delays and potential default.
