What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Jersey Mikes Franchise Disclosure Document, the length of the Area Development Agreement term is determined at the outset.
The table indicates that the term's length is specified in the Area Development Agreement, suggesting it is not typically negotiated on an individual basis. The specific duration of the agreement is established when the agreement is entered into.
While the term's length is set, Section 15 of the Area Development Agreement states that the agreement can be modified only by written agreement between Jersey Mikes and the franchisee. This implies that while the initial term is fixed, there may be possibilities for modifications or extensions through mutual written consent.
