What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for locating, evaluating, and securing the site for their 7 Brew store. 7 Brew will provide its then-current criteria for Traditional 7 Brew Store sites to aid in the site-selection process. These criteria include factors such as population density, demographic characteristics, visibility, traffic flow, competition, accessibility (ingress and egress), size, and other physical and commercial characteristics.
7 Brew must accept each new site proposed by the franchisee. While 7 Brew will review potential sites within the development territory, they are not obligated to physically inspect the sites. 7 Brew has the right to require complete site reports and other materials, including photographs and digital recordings, before accepting a proposed site or conducting a site visit.
7 Brew will use reasonable efforts to review and either accept or reject each proposed site within 30 days of receiving all requested information. A site is deemed rejected if 7 Brew does not provide written acceptance within this timeframe. 7 Brew retains the absolute right to reject any site that does not meet its criteria or to require the franchisee to acknowledge in writing that a preferred site is accepted but not recommended due to incompatibility with certain factors. After 7 Brew accepts a site and the franchisee secures it, the site's address will be identified in the Franchise Agreement.
