What is the only lease requirement that 7 Brew imposes on the franchisee for Traditional 7 Brew stores?

According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are exclusively responsible for all lease matters related to their Traditional 7 Brew stores. 7 Brew will not be involved in reviewing, negotiating, approving, or accepting any lease agreements. The sole requirement that 7 Brew imposes is that the site's lease must incorporate the terms of 7 Brew's then-current Lease Rider for Traditional 7 Brew Stores. Franchisees must also send 7 Brew a fully-signed copy of each site's lease within ten days of the request.

This means that while franchisees have autonomy in lease negotiations, they must ensure the lease includes 7 Brew's specific Lease Rider. This rider likely contains provisions that protect 7 Brew's interests, such as ensuring the lease aligns with the franchise agreement and allowing 7 Brew to receive notices of default or termination.

Failure to incorporate the Lease Rider into the lease agreement would be a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should carefully review the Lease Rider and understand its implications before signing any lease. They should also maintain open communication with 7 Brew to ensure they are using the most current version of the Lease Rider.
