Where in the Beard Papas franchise agreement can I find the definition of 'Development Schedule'?

According to the 2025 Beard Papas Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of 'Development Schedule' is found in Section 4.4 of the agreement. The FDD also states that the Development Information Sheet, attached as Schedule A, provides further details regarding the development area and the number of shops authorized for development.

The Development Schedule is a critical component of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, outlining the timeline and requirements for opening Beard Papas shops within the designated Development Area. Franchisees must strictly adhere to this schedule, as failure to do so can result in the termination of the agreement. This underscores the importance of carefully reviewing and understanding the Development Schedule before entering into a franchise agreement with Beard Papas.

Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to Section 4.4 and Schedule A to fully understand their development obligations. They should also assess whether the Development Schedule is reasonable and viable based on their own independent investigation and analysis of the market. Any concerns or questions regarding the Development Schedule should be addressed with Beard Papas prior to signing the agreement.
