What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Fee for an Area Development Agreement is $20,000 multiplied by the number of restaurants the franchisee agrees to develop in the Development Territory. This fee is reduced to $10,000 per restaurant for eligible veterans. This fee is payable in full when the Area Development Agreement is signed and is non-refundable.
For example, if a prospective franchisee agrees to develop 10 Beyond Juicery Eatery restaurants within a specific territory, the Development Fee would be $200,000 (10 restaurants x $20,000). This upfront investment grants the franchisee the exclusive right to develop Beyond Juicery Eatery locations within the agreed-upon area and timeframe.
Beyond Juicery Eatery will credit $20,000 (or $10,000 for veterans) against the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each restaurant developed under the Area Development Agreement. This credit effectively applies the development fee towards the initial franchise fee for each individual restaurant as it opens. Franchisees should note that they will also need to sign a separate franchise agreement and pay the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each restaurant they open.
The Development Fee is compensation for the reservation of future development rights and is not refundable under any circumstances. This means that if the franchisee fails to open the agreed-upon number of restaurants within the Development Schedule, they will forfeit the portion of the Development Fee associated with the unbuilt locations. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their ability to meet the development schedule before entering into an Area Development Agreement with Beyond Juicery Eatery.
