NON-TRADITIONAL ADDENDUM TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
POTBELLY FRANCHISING, LLC NON-TRADITIONAL LOCATION ADDENDUM TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
Source: Item 22 — CONTRACTS (FDD page 79)
What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Potbelly Sandwich Works' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum modifies the 'Franchise Agreement.' Specifically, the 'Non-Traditional Location Addendum' supplements and amends the existing Franchise Agreement. This addendum and the original agreement together constitute the complete understanding between Potbelly Sandwich Works and the franchisee.
This means that franchisees opening a Potbelly Sandwich Works location in a non-traditional venue (potentially a venue like an airport, university campus, or food court) will have their standard Franchise Agreement altered by this addendum. The addendum takes precedence over any conflicting terms in the original Franchise Agreement.
Item 22 of the FDD also states that certain sections of the Franchise Agreement, such as those related to local marketing and area brand cooperatives, are deleted in their entirety by this addendum. This highlights the importance of franchisees carefully reviewing the addendum to understand how it changes their rights and obligations under the original Franchise Agreement. Franchisees must acknowledge that they have read and understood both the addendum and the Franchise Agreement and consent to be bound by all the terms and conditions outlined in both documents.
