Does 7 Brew have the right to reject any site not meeting its criteria?

According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 7 Brew has the absolute right to reject any proposed site that does not meet its criteria. The company will use reasonable efforts to review and either accept or reject each site within 30 days of receiving all necessary information. If 7 Brew does not provide written acceptance within this 30-day period, the site is considered rejected.

Even if a site appears favorable based on past successful locations and the company's experience, 7 Brew retains the right to reject it if it does not meet their specific criteria. Alternatively, 7 Brew may accept a site while also requiring the franchisee to acknowledge in writing that the site is not recommended due to incompatibility with certain factors that affect its suitability. Once 7 Brew accepts a site and the franchisee secures it, the site's address will be identified in the Franchise Agreement.

This clause underscores the importance of aligning site selection with 7 Brew's standards. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider 7 Brew's site criteria and work closely with the franchisor during the site selection process to avoid potential rejection. Additionally, the franchisee should be aware that even if a site is accepted, there may be caveats or concerns raised by 7 Brew that could impact the store's performance.
