What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 17 outlines the conditions under which a franchisee can terminate the franchise agreement. Specifically, Section 16.1 of the Franchise Agreement details the franchisee's termination rights.
The FDD states that a Monicals Pizza franchisee can terminate the Franchise Agreement if they are in compliance with the agreement and Monicals Pizza materially breaches it. However, the franchisee must first provide written notice of the breach to Monicals Pizza and allow them 30 days to begin to cure the breach.

It also highlights the importance of documenting any breaches by Monicals Pizza and providing them with a formal written notice and sufficient time to rectify the issue before pursuing termination.
