What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the only requirement that 7 Brew imposes on franchisees regarding the site's lease is that it must incorporate the terms of 7 Brew's then-current Lease Rider for Traditional 7 Brew Stores.
This means that when a franchisee secures a lease for their 7 Brew location, the lease agreement must include specific provisions outlined in 7 Brew's Lease Rider. This rider likely contains terms that protect 7 Brew's interests, such as ensuring the location is used only as a 7 Brew store and giving 7 Brew certain rights in case of default or lease termination.
The franchisee is responsible for all lease matters, including reviewing, negotiating, and approving the lease. Franchisees must send 7 Brew a fully signed copy of each site's lease within ten days of 7 Brew's request. This allows 7 Brew to ensure that the Lease Rider terms have been properly incorporated and to keep records of the lease agreements for all franchise locations.
