You can start from several aspects:

1. How long will it take to open the store? How long is the contract term left? If there are enough, you can apply for a partial refund of the franchise fee.

2. How much of the other party’s operating resources are actually used? If you fully enjoy the other party's business resources, the possibility of returning the franchise fee is very small.

3. Whether the other party actually committed a breach of contract, and whether the other party was at fault when the franchise store closed down. If the other party's business resources are not fully used and within the contract period, then the other party is more likely to breach the contract. Generally, you can claim a refund of the franchise fee. For details, you can consult a professional lawyer.
