What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must select a location that meets the franchisor's approval within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. If the franchisee fails to secure an acceptable location within this timeframe, Beyond Juicery Eatery reserves the right to cancel the Franchise Agreement at their discretion.
This requirement places a significant responsibility on the franchisee to promptly identify and secure a suitable site. The franchisor's approval process adds another layer to this timeline, as the site must meet their criteria outlined in the Operations Manual. These criteria include factors such as general location, traffic patterns, rent expense, demographics, equipment and services, leasehold improvement costs, brand image, and parking.
While Beyond Juicery Eatery provides site selection criteria and assistance through an approved supplier, the ultimate decision to approve or disapprove a site rests solely with the franchisor. This clause underscores the importance of thorough due diligence and proactive site selection by the franchisee to avoid potential delays or cancellation of the agreement. The franchisee bears the financial risks and rewards associated with the chosen location.
