What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no mention of a contract between 7 Brew and "ure Franchise, LLC." However, the FDD does include a lease rider as an exhibit to the Brew Culture Franchise, LLC Franchise Agreement. This rider outlines lease provisions for 7 Brew store franchises, specifying language that must be included in the lease agreement between the tenant (franchisee) and the landlord.
The lease rider mandates that during the term of the franchise agreement between the tenant and Brew Culture Franchise, LLC (the franchisor), the tenant must use the premises only to operate a 7 Brew store. Additionally, the landlord is required to send copies of all default notices and notices of intent to terminate the lease or evict the tenant to the franchisor simultaneously with sending them to the tenant. These copies must be sent to Brew Culture Franchise, LLC at their specified address, attention: Legal Department.
This lease rider ensures that 7 Brew maintains some control over the locations of its franchises, even though they are operated by independent franchisees. By requiring specific language in the lease and mandating that the landlord notify 7 Brew of any issues with the lease, 7 Brew can protect its brand and ensure that its franchisees are operating in suitable locations and in compliance with the franchise agreement. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the lease rider and understand its implications before signing a franchise agreement.
