Can a Franchisee Party assign the Beyond Juicery Eatery agreement without the Company's consent?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the excerpts provided do not explicitly state whether a franchisee can assign the Beyond Juicery Eatery agreement without the company's consent. However, there are several sections that discuss assignment in specific contexts, such as the assignment of telephone numbers and real estate options to purchase. These sections suggest that Beyond Juicery Eatery retains some control over key assets and agreements related to the franchise.

Specifically, Exhibit G outlines the Telephone Number Assignment, where the franchisee assigns their rights to telephone numbers used for the Beyond Juicery Eatery restaurant back to the company upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. Similarly, Exhibit I details a Real Estate Option to Purchase agreement, granting Beyond Juicery Eatery the option to purchase the real estate associated with the franchise under certain conditions. These clauses indicate that franchisees have obligations to transfer certain assets back to the franchisor under specific circumstances.

To fully understand the franchisee's ability to assign the entire franchise agreement, a prospective franchisee should carefully review the complete franchise agreement and specifically inquire with Beyond Juicery Eatery about the conditions under which assignment is permitted or restricted. This will clarify the franchisee's rights and obligations regarding the transfer of their franchise to another party.
