What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Rights Rider outlines specific deadlines for franchisees to construct, develop, and open Traditional 7 Brew stores. The rider's term begins when it is signed and concludes when the final store under the schedule opens, or when the rider is terminated. However, the term will end no later than the date inserted on the schedule, subject to extensions permitted by Section 6(e) of the rider.
The document emphasizes that time is of the essence, and the franchisee's rights are subject to termination if they fail to meet the development obligations outlined in the schedule. Failure to comply with these obligations and cure the non-compliance within 90 days after receiving written notice from 7 Brew can result in termination of the agreement.
This strict adherence to deadlines and the potential for termination highlights the importance of careful planning and execution for prospective 7 Brew franchisees. Franchisees must be prepared to meet the development schedule outlined in the rider to maintain their rights and avoid potential penalties.
