What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must operate the hotel from a site that The Standardx approves. The franchisee's rights under the Franchise Agreement are specifically limited to operating the hotel at that approved site.
The FDD stipulates that if all or a substantial portion of The Standardx hotel is condemned or suffers a casualty that requires the franchisee to close all or a portion of the hotel, the franchisee may relocate the hotel. However, this relocation is contingent upon The Standardx's approval of the new location.
This condition is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as franchisors typically want to maintain control over the brand's image and customer experience by ensuring that each location meets certain standards and is situated in an appropriate market. For a prospective The Standardx franchisee, this means that while relocation is possible under specific circumstances, it is not guaranteed and depends on the franchisor's consent.
