What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when Better Blend accepts a potential site for a franchise location, they will issue a Location Acceptance Letter. The FDD specifies that this letter will be in the form of Attachment 2 to the Franchise Agreement.
Better Blend does not select the site for the franchisee. The franchisee is responsible for finding a potential site and submitting it to Better Blend for approval, along with all required information and documents. Better Blend will review and advise franchisees regarding potential locations that are submitted to them.
Better Blend considers several factors when approving sites, including the general location and neighborhood, competition, trade area demographics, traffic patterns, parking, size, physical characteristics of existing buildings, and lease terms. Better Blend has 30 days to approve or disapprove a proposed site after the franchisee submits all required documents and information. If the franchisee and Better Blend cannot agree on a site, the franchisee may be unable to meet the opening deadline specified in the franchise agreement, potentially leading to default and termination of the agreement.
