What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery FDD, if the Franchise Agreement terminates or expires without renewal, Beyond Juicery Eatery has the option to accept assignment of the lease. To exercise this option, Beyond Juicery Eatery must provide written notice to the landlord within thirty days of the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement. The effective date of the assignment will be specified by Beyond Juicery Eatery in the written notice to the landlord. The landlord can rely solely on Beyond Juicery Eatery's written notice as acceptance of the lease assignment. The franchisee releases the landlord and Beyond Juicery Eatery from any liability arising from actions taken by the landlord based on this notice.
If Beyond Juicery Eatery chooses not to exercise its option to accept the lease assignment, the franchisee must promptly remove all Beyond Juicery Eatery trademarks from the premises. If the franchisee fails to do so, the landlord agrees that Beyond Juicery Eatery may enter the premises to de-identify it without being guilty of trespass or tort. The franchisee will be responsible for all expenses incurred by Beyond Juicery Eatery in performing the de-identification, including actual attorneys' fees.
This arrangement ensures that Beyond Juicery Eatery has control over the location even after a franchise agreement ends, allowing them to potentially continue operations with a new franchisee or prevent a competitor from taking over the site. For a franchisee, it highlights the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Beyond Juicery Eatery and adhering to the terms of the franchise agreement to avoid termination or non-renewal, which could lead to the loss of their business location and additional expenses for de-identification.
