What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beyond Juicery Eatery has the right to assign a lease to another franchisee without needing the landlord's consent. Specifically, if Beyond Juicery Eatery assumes a franchisee's rights and obligations under a lease, it can then transfer or assign that lease to another Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisee.
This clause protects Beyond Juicery Eatery by allowing them to transfer a lease to a new franchisee if the original franchisee defaults or leaves the system. This ensures continuity of the business at that location. The original franchisee is obligated to assist Beyond Juicery Eatery in executing documents necessary for the assignment.
If Beyond Juicery Eatery assigns the lease to another franchisee, Beyond Juicery Eatery is released from further liability under the lease. This provides Beyond Juicery Eatery with a clean break from obligations once the lease is successfully transferred, which limits their long-term risk. However, during any period that the premises is closed for remodeling or while Beyond Juicery Eatery is seeking to obtain and train a new franchisee, Beyond Juicery Eatery is not subject to any provisions of the lease that requires continuous operation of a business in the Premises, provided that rent is paid during such period of closure pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
