What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when Better Blend accepts a franchisee's proposed location, they will issue a Location Acceptance Letter. This letter, in the form of Attachment 2, will specify the location and territory granted to the franchisee. Better Blend has 30 days to either accept or reject the proposed location in writing, otherwise it is deemed rejected.
It's important to note that Better Blend determines the territory in its good faith discretion, substantially in accordance with Item 12 of the Franchise Disclosure Document. However, Better Blend explicitly states that its acceptance of a location should not be interpreted as a guarantee of the business's success or that the business is permitted to operate at that location under local laws and zoning ordinances. Better Blend also disclaims any liability related to the location of the business.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the chosen location is suitable for their Better Blend business. This includes verifying compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances and assessing the potential for success in the designated territory. Franchisees should not rely solely on Better Blend's approval as a guarantee of viability.
