Must all sales for a Better Blend franchise be made at or from the franchisee's premises?

According to the 2024 Better Blend Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally restricted to operating their Better Blend business solely from the approved location. Specifically, franchisees are prohibited from engaging in any other business or activity at the designated location other than the operation of the Better Blend business. This implies that the primary mode of sales is intended to be from the physical Better Blend location.

This restriction ensures that the franchisee focuses exclusively on the Better Blend business at the approved site, maintaining brand consistency and operational standards. It prevents franchisees from diluting their efforts or confusing customers by operating other ventures from the same premises.

However, the FDD does not explicitly state that all sales must occur at the premises. It is possible that Better Blend franchisees could engage in off-site sales activities such as catering or delivery services, provided these activities are directly related to and originate from the Better Blend business.

To fully clarify whether off-premises sales are permitted, a prospective franchisee should seek explicit confirmation from Better Blend regarding the scope of permissible sales activities beyond the physical location. This inquiry should cover potential opportunities like catering, delivery, or participation in local events, and any specific guidelines or approvals required for such activities.
