What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's failure to meet the opening deadline specified in the franchise agreement can lead to serious consequences. The FDD states that if the franchisee and Better Blend cannot agree on a site, the franchisee will be unable to meet their obligation to develop and open the franchise by the agreed-upon deadline.
Unless Better Blend agrees to extend the deadline, the franchisee will be considered in default of the franchise agreement. This default gives Better Blend the right to terminate the franchise agreement.
This provision highlights the importance of site selection and adherence to the development timeline. Prospective Better Blend franchisees should carefully consider the site selection process and ensure they can meet the required deadlines to avoid potential default and termination of their franchise agreement.
