What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, operating the business in a manner that, in Better Blend's reasonable judgment, poses a significant danger to the health or safety of any person can be grounds for termination. However, the franchisee has an opportunity to correct the issue.
Specifically, the franchisee must fail to cure the danger within 48 hours after becoming aware of it, whether through notice from Better Blend or otherwise. This indicates that Better Blend will allow a short window for franchisees to address and resolve health and safety concerns before moving to terminate the agreement.
Additionally, franchisees can face termination if they fail to meet health inspection standards described in Section 7.3(e) two or more times in any 36-month period, or if they fail to achieve a passing score on an inspection conducted by BBF two or more times in any 36-month period. These stipulations highlight the importance Better Blend places on maintaining consistent health and safety standards across all franchise locations, with repeated failures leading to potential termination.
