Answer from 2025 FDD Document

you in this Rider and for reserving the Territory for you to the exclusion of others (except as provided in this Rider with respect to Non-Traditional 7 BREW Stores) while you are in compliance with this Rider;

  • (ii) fully earned by us when we and you sign this Rider; and
  • (iii) not refundable under any circumstances, even if you do not comply or attempt to comply with the Schedule and we then terminate this Rider.

6. Grant of Franchises and Site Selection and Acquisition.

  • (a) You must send us a separate application for each Traditional 7 BREW Store that you (or your Approved Affiliate) wish to develop in the Territory. You must locate, evaluate, select, and secure the Store's site. We will not search for or select the site for you. In granting you development rights under this Rider, we are relying on your knowledge of the real estate market in the Territory and your ability to locate and access sites.
  • (b) We will give you our then-current criteria for Traditional 7 BREW Store sites (including, without limitation, population density and other demographic characteristics, visibility, traffic flow, competition, accessibility, ingress and egress, size, and other physical and commercial characteristics) to help you select and identify each Traditional 7 BREW Store site. We will review potential Traditional 7 BREW Store sites that you identify within the Territory but have no obligation to visit the Territory to inspect physically the sites you propose for your potential Stores. We have the right to condition our acceptance of a proposed site, or a proposed site visit, on your first sending us complete site reports and other materials (including, without limitation, photographs and digital recordings) we request. You must give us all information and materials we request to assess each proposed Traditional 7 BREW Store site.

We will not unreasonably withhold acceptance of a site if, in our and our affiliates' experience and based on the factors outlined above, the proposed site is not inconsistent with sites that we and our affiliates regard as favorable or that otherwise have been successful sites in the past for Traditional 7 BREW Stores. However, we have the absolute right to reject any site not meeting our criteria or to require you to acknowledge in writing that a site you have chosen, while acceptable to us, is not recommended due to its incompatibility with certain factors bearing on a site's suitability as a location for a Traditional 7 BREW Store. We agree to use reasonable efforts to review and accept (or not to accept) each site you propose within thirty (30) days after we receive all requested information and materials. If we do not accept the site in writing within thirty

(30) days, the site will be deemed rejected. You may not proceed with a site that we have not accepted.

  • (c) If we accept the proposed site but you (or your Approved Affiliate) have not yet signed a franchise agreement for that Traditional 7 BREW Store, you agree—concurrently with signing the lease for or otherwise securing the right to possess the site—to sign (or have your Approved Affiliate sign) a separate franchise agreement (and related documents) for that Store.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit a separate application for each Traditional 7 Brew store they wish to develop within their designated territory. The franchisee is responsible for locating, evaluating, selecting, and securing the site for each store, as 7 Brew does not provide site selection services. This places the onus on the franchisee to leverage their understanding of the local real estate market to identify suitable locations.

To aid in the site selection process, 7 Brew will provide its current criteria for Traditional 7 Brew Store sites. These criteria include factors such as population density, demographic characteristics, visibility, traffic flow, competition, accessibility, size, and other physical and commercial characteristics. While 7 Brew will review potential sites identified by the franchisee, they are not obligated to conduct physical inspections of the proposed locations unless the franchisee first provides complete site reports and other requested materials, such as photographs and digital recordings.

If 7 Brew accepts a proposed site before a franchise agreement is signed, the franchisee must sign a separate franchise agreement (and related documents) concurrently with signing the lease or securing the right to possess the site. Failure to do so, or inability to obtain lawful possession of the site within the designated timeframe, may result in 7 Brew withdrawing its acceptance of the site. Franchisees are also required to send 7 Brew a fully-signed copy of each site's lease within ten days of request, and the lease must incorporate the terms of 7 Brew's then-current Lease Rider for Traditional 7 Brew Stores.
