Under the Monicals Pizza Development Agreement, does the developer have the right to use the Monicals Pizza Marks?

According to the 2025 Monicals Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Agreement does not grant the developer the right to use the Monicals Pizza marks. Section 6.1 of the agreement explicitly states that there is no license granted under the Development Agreement for the use of the marks.

This means that while a developer is granted rights to establish and operate Monicals Pizza restaurants within a specific territory, this agreement alone does not authorize them to use the brand's trademarks or service marks. The right to use the Monicals Pizza marks is established in the Franchise Agreement, not the Development Agreement.

This distinction is important for prospective developers to understand, as it clarifies that the Development Agreement primarily concerns the right to develop the territory, while the Franchise Agreement covers the operational aspects, including the use of intellectual property like the Monicals Pizza marks. Developers must ensure they have a signed Franchise Agreement in order to legally use the Monicals Pizza marks in their restaurant operations.
