What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must send a fully-signed copy of each site's lease to 7 Brew within ten (10) days after 7 Brew requests it. 7 Brew is not involved in reviewing, negotiating, approving, or accepting any lease the franchisee signs for their 7 Brew stores. The franchisee is exclusively responsible for all lease matters.
This means that while 7 Brew does not dictate the lease terms, they require a copy for their records. It is crucial for franchisees to maintain organized records of all signed leases and be prepared to provide them promptly upon request to remain compliant with the franchise agreement.
Additionally, the lease must incorporate the terms of 7 Brew's then-current Lease Rider for Traditional 7 Brew Stores. This Lease Rider ensures that the lease contains specific provisions required by 7 Brew, such as the use of the premises only to operate a 7 Brew store and that the landlord will send copies of default notices or notices of termination to 7 Brew.
