7_Brew Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
After you and your owners (or your Approved Affiliate and its owners) sign the franchise agreement (and related documents, including Guaranty and Assumption of Obligations), its terms and conditions will control the construction, development, and operation of the Traditional 7 BREW Store (except that the required opening date is governed exclusively by the Schedule in this Rider, as provided in Section 3 above).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the required opening date for a Traditional 7 Brew store is governed exclusively by the Schedule outlined in the Development Rights Rider. After the franchisee and 7 Brew sign the franchise agreement and related documents, the terms and conditions of that agreement will dictate the construction, development, and operation of the Traditional 7 Brew Store. However, the specific date the store must open is determined solely by the Schedule within the Development Rights Rider.
This means that while the franchise agreement covers many aspects of setting up and running the 7 Brew location, the opening date is a separate, critical obligation defined in the Schedule. Franchisees must adhere to the opening date outlined in the Schedule to remain in compliance with the Development Rights Rider.
This distinction is important because failing to meet the opening date specified in the Schedule can have significant consequences, as non-compliance with the Schedule can lead to termination of the Development Rights Rider. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review the Schedule and understand their obligations regarding the opening date of their Traditional 7 Brew store.
