What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must use reasonable efforts to have their landlord sign Better Blend's form of Rider to Lease Agreement. This form is included as Exhibit D to the FDD.
This requirement means that before a Better Blend franchise location can be approved, the landlord of the property must agree to the terms outlined in the Rider to Lease Agreement. This agreement likely contains provisions that protect Better Blend's interests, such as restrictions on the landlord's ability to lease space to competing businesses or requirements for maintaining the property in a manner that aligns with Better Blend's brand standards.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit D and understand the obligations it places on the landlord. They should also be prepared to negotiate with the landlord to ensure they are willing to sign the Rider to Lease Agreement. Failure to obtain the landlord's signature could delay or even prevent the opening of the franchise.
