Understanding Taziki's Franchise Territory Rights: What You Need to Know

Taziki’s Mediterranean Café structures its franchise territories to balance market opportunity, brand consistency, and franchisee success. Territories are flexible, taking into account available markets and franchisee goals, ensuring each owner has room to grow and maximize their potential.

Taziki’s focuses on multi-unit agreements, typically requiring three or more units per franchise deal. This approach supports operational efficiency, stronger local brand presence, and long-term investment sustainability. Territory rights help protect franchisees from internal competition while giving them the flexibility to expand strategically within their region.

Taziki’s calls this an “Area Development Agreement” and is financially structured to protect the franchise partner. Partners pay for their entail franchise fee, and deposits of $5,000 for each additional unit that is agreed upon to be in the development territory and plan. At the conclusion of a completed ADA, the partner will maintain exclusive control of the territorial rights.

By pairing flexible territories with a multi-unit model, Taziki’s creates an environment where franchisees can grow thoughtfully, reach more guests, and build a lasting business in the fast-casual space that will leave a local legacy.
