What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, the Potbelly Sandwich Works Non-Traditional Location Addendum to Franchise Agreement is made and entered into as of a specific day and year. The exact day is not specified in the document, as the agreement includes blanks for the day, month, and year to be filled in when the agreement is executed. The effective date is determined regardless of the actual signing dates, but only after all parties have fully signed the document.
This addendum modifies certain provisions of the standard Franchise Agreement to accommodate the unique aspects of operating a Potbelly Sandwich Shop within a Non-Traditional Location. Non-Traditional Locations are defined as food service facilities that operate under the Potbelly Sandwich Works brand but do not have unlimited and unrestricted access to the general public. Examples of such locations include hospitals, airports, schools, and amusement parks.
The addendum includes modifications to clauses in the standard agreement, such as those related to site selection and other businesses. For instance, the franchisee's ability to engage in delivery or catering activities away from the physical site may be restricted, and any delivery area specified by Potbelly Sandwich Works is limited to the facility and is deemed exclusive only within that facility.
Prospective franchisees should note that the specific terms of the Non-Traditional Location Addendum can significantly impact their operational flexibility and revenue potential compared to a traditional Potbelly Sandwich Works franchise. It is crucial to carefully review all modifications and restrictions outlined in the addendum with the franchisor before signing the agreement.
