What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the development schedule is directly tied to location selection. Area Developers must adhere to the Development Schedule outlined in Attachment 1 of their Area Development Agreement, ensuring each franchised restaurant is open and operating by the specified dates. The selection of a location approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery is crucial to meeting these deadlines. The franchisor's consent to a location does not alter or extend the Development Schedule. This means that finding and securing an approved location is a critical step in adhering to the agreed-upon timeline for opening restaurants.
If a Beyond Juicery Eatery location closes, the Area Developer must find and secure an alternative location approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery within three months and reopen within nine months of the original closure, all while maintaining the original Development Schedule. Failure to secure a suitable replacement location and meet the schedule can result in termination of the Area Development Agreement and the loss of rights to develop additional locations. This highlights the importance of proactive location management and the potential consequences of delays.
Individual franchisees for Beyond Juicery Eatery must select a location that receives franchisor approval within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to do so can result in Beyond Juicery Eatery canceling the agreement. While Beyond Juicery Eatery provides advice and approval, this does not guarantee profitability or success, and the franchisee bears the financial responsibility for the chosen location. This underscores the need for careful due diligence in site selection, using approved real estate analysis services, and understanding the local market dynamics to ensure the location supports a successful Beyond Juicery Eatery restaurant.
