What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after signing the lease for a Traditional 7 Brew store, you must send a fully-signed copy of the site's lease to 7 Brew within ten (10) days after their request.
This requirement ensures that 7 Brew is aware of the lease terms and that the lease incorporates the terms of their then-current Lease Rider for Traditional 7 Brew Stores. This Lease Rider contains specific provisions that must be included in the lease agreement.
As the franchisee, you are solely responsible for all lease matters, including reviewing, negotiating, and approving the lease. 7 Brew is not involved in this process, but they do require that their Lease Rider terms are incorporated into the lease agreement. Failing to provide the lease copy within the specified timeframe could potentially lead to issues with the franchise agreement.
