According to Punch King Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Punch King Fitness has the right to transfer or assign all or any part of its rights and/or obligations in the franchise agreement to any person or legal entity. This includes a subfranchisor who would be specifically responsible for assisting the franchisee.

This means that a new entity could take over Punch King Fitness's responsibilities under the agreement. This could be another company, an individual, or even a subfranchisor. The franchisee must acknowledge this possibility and agree to cooperate with any such transfer or assignment.

As a prospective franchisee, it is important to understand that the entity you initially contract with may not be the entity you are dealing with in the future. While Punch King Fitness retains the right to transfer the agreement, the franchisee is obligated to comply with the transfer and execute any necessary documents to facilitate it. This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements, as it allows the franchisor flexibility in structuring its business and planning for succession.
