What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees do not have the right to acquire franchises for Non-Traditional 7 Brew Stores. The 7 Brew franchise opportunity is specifically for "traditional" stores, which are defined as freestanding or other facilities with at least one drive-thru window. Any store that does not have a drive-thru window is considered "non-traditional."
While franchisees do not have a guaranteed right to acquire franchises for Non-Traditional 7 Brew Stores, 7 Brew may offer franchisees a right of first refusal for these locations within their development territories if they request it. This means that if 7 Brew decides to franchise a Non-Traditional store in a franchisee's territory, the franchisee would have the first opportunity to acquire that franchise.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this distinction between Traditional and Non-Traditional 7 Brew Stores. The standard franchise offering is for the drive-thru model. Franchisees interested in potentially operating Non-Traditional stores should inquire about the specific conditions and requirements for obtaining a right of first refusal in their development territories.
