What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Monicals Pizza will not execute a Franchise Agreement with a developer under specific conditions related to compliance and default.
Specifically, Monicals Pizza will not execute a Franchise Agreement if the developer is not in compliance with all obligations, or is in default of any obligations, under the Development Agreement or any other agreement between the franchisor and the developer. This means that if the developer fails to meet the requirements outlined in the Development Agreement, such as adhering to the development schedule or fulfilling financial obligations, Monicals Pizza reserves the right to withhold the Franchise Agreement.
Additionally, Monicals Pizza will not proceed with the Franchise Agreement if the developer, acting as a franchisee, is not in compliance with all obligations, or is in default of any obligations, under any existing Franchise Agreement. This clause ensures that developers who already have existing Monicals Pizza franchises must maintain good standing in those franchises to be eligible for additional franchise agreements.
These conditions are in place to protect Monicals Pizza's brand and ensure that developers are committed to fulfilling their obligations and maintaining the standards of the franchise system. The Franchise Agreement for each additional Monicals Restaurant must be executed before the date stated in the Development Schedule that such Monicals Restaurant must be established and operating.
