Can franchisees transfer the right to operate?

It depends on the specific situation. Franchise rights of franchise stores belong to franchise rights and may not be transferred without authorization, but may be transferred with the written notice and consent of the competent department. The investment cooperation agreement stipulates that the franchisee shall not transfer the franchise store to others without the written consent of the franchise headquarters. Otherwise, the Franchisor has the right to terminate this contract and hold the Franchisee liable for breach of contract.
