Is the approval of an Endless Summer Sweets franchise relocation request handled on a case-by-case basis?

According to Endless Summer Sweets' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have the right to relocate their business, and Endless Summer Sweets has no obligation to approve any request for relocation. However, Endless Summer Sweets' policy is to consider relocation requests on a case-by-case basis.

Endless Summer Sweets will consider 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 when reviewing a relocation request. This means that while relocation is not guaranteed, Endless Summer Sweets is willing to assess the situation and make a decision based on the specific circumstances.

For a prospective Endless Summer Sweets franchisee, this policy suggests that while you cannot count on being able to move your location, there is a possibility if certain conditions are met. It would be prudent to discuss potential relocation scenarios with Endless Summer Sweets during the due diligence process to better understand their criteria and willingness to approve such requests.
