What is the time frame 7 Brew has to review and accept or reject each site proposed?

According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 7 Brew agrees to use reasonable efforts to review and either accept or reject a proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving all the necessary information and materials from the franchisee. If 7 Brew fails to provide written acceptance within this 30-day period, the site is automatically deemed rejected.

This stipulation is important for prospective franchisees as it sets a clear timeline for the site selection process. Franchisees need to be aware that they cannot proceed with a site that 7 Brew has not accepted. If 7 Brew delays the franchisee's progress in meeting their development obligations by failing to accept a suitable site, and the franchisee provides written notice with at least ten (10) days to cure the delay, the franchisee has the right to adjust the development schedule accordingly.

This clause protects the franchisee from undue delays caused by 7 Brew's inaction. It allows the franchisee to extend the opening deadline for each additional store by the number of days 7 Brew delayed the progress, ensuring that the franchisee is not penalized for delays outside of their control. This adjustment to the schedule provides a mechanism for franchisees to maintain their development timeline despite potential holdups in site approval.
