Does Monicals Pizza review and approve the lease or purchase agreement for the site of the approved Monicals Pizza location?

According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Monicals Pizza will review and approve the lease or purchase agreement for the site of the approved Monicals Pizza location. Before a Monicals Pizza restaurant opens, the company will review and approve the franchisee's lease or purchase agreement for the site of the approved location.

Monicals Pizza also helps with site selection. If a franchisee has not already selected a site before signing the Franchise Agreement, Monicals Pizza will designate the area where the restaurant will be located, provide the franchisee with site selection criteria, and approve a site that meets the criteria. However, the franchisee is solely responsible for locating and obtaining a site that meets Monicals Pizza's standards and criteria and is acceptable to them.

Monicals Pizza's general site selection and evaluation criteria include the condition of the premises, demographics, proximity to other Monicals Pizza restaurants and competitors, lease requirements, traffic patterns, visibility, access, proximity to major roads, parking, and overall suitability. If the franchisee and Monicals Pizza cannot agree on a suitable site within 90 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, Monicals Pizza may terminate the Franchise Agreement.
