Floyds_99 Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The rights that are granted to the Franchisee are for the specific Franchised Location and cannot be transferred to an alternative Franchised Location, or any other location, without the prior written approval of the Franchisor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Franchisee shall not operate another business, offer services or products which are part of the Licensed Methods at any site other than the Franchised Location (except for other Franchised Locations covered by other Franchise Agreements with the Franchisee), fill wholesale orders, sell products or services by mail order or through catalogs or the Internet, transship or reship products, or offer any other type of off-site service or sale of products.
If Franchisee desires to relocate the FLOYD'S 99 Shop or is unable to continue the operation of the FLOYD'S 99 Shop at the Franchised Location because of damage to or destruction of the FLOYD'S 99 Shop, then Franchisee may request Franchisor's approval to relocate the FLOYD'S 99 Shop to another location in the Protected Territory, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
If Franchisor grants Franchisee the right to relocate the FLOYD'S 99 Shop, then Franchisee shall comply with the site selection and construction procedures set forth in Article 5 and pay Franchisor the then-current relocation fee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the rights granted to a franchisee are specific to the approved Franchised Location. A franchisee cannot transfer these rights to another location without prior written approval from Floyds 99. This approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Floyds 99 franchisees are restricted from operating another business or offering services/products associated with the Licensed Methods at any site other than the Franchised Location. The exceptions to this are other Franchised Locations covered by separate Franchise Agreements with the same franchisee. Franchisees are also prohibited from fulfilling wholesale orders, selling products/services via mail order, catalogs, the Internet, transshipping products, or offering any other type of off-site service or sale of products unless explicitly permitted in writing by Floyds 99.
If a franchisee wishes to relocate their Floyds 99 shop, they must request approval from Floyds 99, which again, will not be unreasonably withheld. If approved, the franchisee must adhere to the site selection and construction procedures outlined in Article 5 and pay the then-current relocation fee. This ensures that any relocation maintains the brand's standards and operational requirements.
