What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beef O Bradys FDD, a franchisee must identify a proposed site and submit it for approval prior to the 90th day following the effective date of the Franchise Agreement. The site must be located within the designated Site Selection Area.
If Beef O Bradys rejects the initial proposed site, the franchisee has an additional 30 days from the date of rejection (but before the Site Selection Period expires) to identify and submit an alternative site for approval. Beef O Bradys is not obligated to consider any sites submitted after the Site Selection Period or outside the Site Selection Area.
Beef O Bradys' approval of a site indicates only that the site meets the company's criteria at the time of approval. If a site is not approved within the specified deadlines, Beef O Bradys is not obligated to allow the franchisee to submit another proposed site.
