Is a Relocation Addendum included as part of the Operating Agreement sample for Dq Treat?

According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, a Relocation Addendum is included as part of the Operating Agreement sample under specific conditions. Dq Treat may allow existing franchisees with a Street location to relocate their restaurants, and if they are permitted to do so under Dq Treat's relocation policy, they must sign the franchise agreement and the relocation addendum, which is included in Exhibit B of the FDD. This relocation policy does not apply to Captive-venue locations.

This means that if a current Dq Treat franchisee with a Street location is approved to relocate their store, the Relocation Addendum will be a required part of their franchise agreement. However, franchisees in Captive-venue locations are not eligible for relocation under this policy. The FDD also mentions other addenda, such as a Renewal Addendum for franchisees renewing their existing franchise agreements and Conversion Addenda for existing Dairy Queen soft-serve-only or limited non-system food stores converting to a Dq Treat store.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit B of the FDD to understand the terms and conditions outlined in the Relocation Addendum, as well as the specific requirements and limitations of the relocation policy. It is also important to note that the franchisor has the right to modify the relocation policy, so franchisees should stay informed of any changes. Understanding these details is crucial for franchisees who may consider relocating their Dq Treat store in the future.
