What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, a Beyond Juicery Eatery Area Developer is required to adhere to the Development Schedule outlined in Attachment 1 of the Area Development Agreement, which specifies the dates by which Franchised Restaurants must be open and operating. The Area Developer must also select locations approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery to meet this schedule. Securing the franchisor's consent to a location or executing a Franchise Agreement does not alter or extend the Development Schedule. These requirements ensure the developer expands the brand according to the agreed-upon timeline.
If a Beyond Juicery Eatery location closes, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the Area Developer must secure an alternative location approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery within three months and reopen for business within nine months of the original closure, all while maintaining the original Development Schedule. This clause ensures that the developer promptly addresses any closures to maintain their development pace.
If the Area Developer fails to secure and open a suitable replacement location within the specified timeframe or does not comply with the Development Schedule, the Area Development Agreement will terminate, and the developer will lose the right to develop additional Beyond Juicery Eatery locations under the agreement. The opening of a replacement location does not count towards fulfilling the developer's obligations under the Development Schedule. This provision underscores the importance of adhering to the Development Schedule and the serious consequences of non-compliance.
