What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at the annual franchisee meeting is not mandatory. However, if a franchisee (or a designated representative approved by 7 Brew) chooses to attend, they must pay an attendance fee.
The attendance fee for the 7 Brew annual meeting will vary depending on the circumstances, but it will not exceed $1,000 per person. This fee does not include the attendee's out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel and accommodation costs. The fee is due as incurred, meaning it must be paid when the franchisee decides to attend the meeting.
Franchisors often hold annual meetings to provide updates, training, and networking opportunities. While 7 Brew does not mandate attendance, it may be beneficial for franchisees to attend to stay informed about the latest developments and best practices within the 7 Brew system. Franchisees should factor in the potential cost of the attendance fee and related expenses when deciding whether to participate.
