What is the deadline for a Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisee to open for business after executing the Franchise Agreement?

According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must select a location that Beyond Juicery Eatery approves within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. If the franchisee fails to secure an approved location within this timeframe, Beyond Juicery Eatery reserves the right to cancel the Franchise Agreement at its sole discretion.

This requirement places a significant emphasis on the franchisee's ability to quickly identify and secure a suitable location. The site must meet Beyond Juicery Eatery's criteria, which are detailed in the Operations Manual and involve factors such as general location, traffic patterns, rent expense, demographics, equipment and services, leasehold improvement costs, brand image, and parking. Franchisees are also required to use the real estate site analysis services of Beyond Juicery Eatery's Approved Supplier to evaluate potential locations.

Beyond Juicery Eatery will provide written notice of approval or disapproval of the proposed site within 45 days after receiving the franchisee's written proposal. However, Beyond Juicery Eatery retains the right to approve or disapprove a proposed site in its sole and absolute discretion, regardless of the listed factors. This clause underscores the importance of aligning with Beyond Juicery Eatery's strategic vision for site selection and the potential challenges franchisees may face in finding a location that meets all requirements within the given timeframe.
