Under what conditions might Ledgers approve the relocation of a Franchised Business?

According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Ledgers may approve the relocation of a franchised business if they believe that conditions have changed to the extent that a relocation would be a sound business decision. This determination is made at the discretion of Ledgers.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that while relocation is possible, it is not guaranteed. Ledgers retains the right to decide whether or not a relocation makes good business sense. A franchisee considering relocation would need to present a strong case to Ledgers, demonstrating how the move would benefit the business. Factors that might influence Ledgers's decision could include changes in the local demographics, increased competition in the current location, or the availability of a more suitable site.

It is important to note that the FDD does not provide specific criteria or a detailed process for requesting a relocation. Therefore, a prospective franchisee should discuss the relocation policy in detail with Ledgers during the due diligence process. Understanding Ledgers's past practices regarding relocation requests from other franchisees could also provide valuable insight.
