Is a Monicals Pizza franchisee allowed to use any of the Monicals Pizza Marks as part of their business entity name?

According to the 2025 Monicals Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using any Monicals Pizza mark or any portion of a mark as part of their business entity name. This restriction is in place to protect the integrity and uniformity of the Monicals Pizza brand.

This means that while you can operate a Monicals Pizza restaurant, your company's legal name cannot include "Monicals Pizza" or any similar variation. For example, you could not name your company "Monicals Pizza of Anytown, LLC" or "Anytown Monicals, Inc." This limitation ensures that the franchisor maintains control over its brand identity and prevents potential confusion among customers.

As a Monicals Pizza franchisee, you are required to include a notice on your letterhead, forms, cards, and at your office location stating that the franchised restaurant is an "Independently Owned and Operated Monical's Pizza Franchise." This further clarifies the relationship between the franchisee and the franchisor, emphasizing the independent ownership while still associating the business with the Monicals Pizza brand. This requirement helps to avoid any misrepresentation that the franchise is directly owned or operated by Monicals Pizza Corporation.
