3.G. CENTER RELOCATION
To the extent that Franchisee wishes to relocate the Franchised Business and, thereby, Franchisee's Center Location and Franchisee's Center Facility, Franchisee must obtain Franchisor's prior written consent, which Franchisor may refuse in Franchisor's Reasonable Business Judgment. Franchisee agrees that if Franchisor does consent to the relocation of the Franchised Business, that Franchisor may condition Franchisor's consent to Franchisee's relocation request on requirements imposed by Franchisor which may include, among other things: (a) that the proposed Center Location meet and satisfy Franchisor's then current standards for Center Locations; (b) that the proposed Center Facility meet and satisfy Franchisor's then current standards for Center Facilities; (c) that the proposed Center Facility be constructed and established in accordance with Franchisor's current standards and specifications; (d) that the proposed Center Location be located within Franchisee's Designated Territory; (e) that the proposed Center Location (even if it is located within the Designated Territory) not be within a close proximity to the Designated Territory and/or Center Location of another MRCOOL Center; and (f) that, as to the proposed Center Facility and proposed Center Location, Franchisee satisfy the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for Center Facilities, and Center Locations including, but not limited to, the requirements set forth in Articles 2.A. and 3.B. of this Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Mrcool Franchise Disclosure Document, information regarding center relocation can be found in Section 3.G. This section outlines the process and conditions under which a franchisee may relocate their Mrcool Franchised Business, Center Location, and Center Facility.
The FDD states that any relocation requires Mrcool's prior written consent, which Mrcool can refuse based on their Reasonable Business Judgment. If Mrcool consents to the relocation, they may impose specific requirements. These requirements can include ensuring the new Center Location meets Mrcool's current standards, the new Center Facility adheres to Mrcool's construction and establishment standards, and the location is within the franchisee's Designated Territory.
Additionally, the proposed location must not be in close proximity to another Mrcool Center, even within the Designated Territory. The franchisee must also satisfy all terms and conditions outlined in the agreement for Center Facilities and Center Locations, as detailed in Articles 2.A. and 3.B. The FDD emphasizes that Mrcool retains sole discretion in approving or denying any relocation request, giving Mrcool significant control over where a franchisee can operate.
