What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery FDD, a developer must adhere to the development schedule outlined in Attachment 1 of the Area Development Agreement, ensuring each franchised restaurant is open and operating by the dates specified. Selecting a location that meets Beyond Juicery Eatery's approval is crucial for each restaurant to meet the schedule. The franchisor's consent to a location or the execution of a Franchise Agreement does not alter the developer's responsibility to meet the development schedule.

If a Beyond Juicery Eatery location closes, the developer must secure an alternative location approved by the franchisor within three months and reopen within nine months of the original closure, while still adhering to the original development schedule. Failing to secure and open a suitable replacement location within this timeframe or not complying with the development schedule can lead to the termination of the Area Development Agreement and the developer's rights to develop further locations.

Furthermore, the developer must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. They must also take reasonable measures to ensure and maintain compliance with all OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) Laws and Regulations during the agreement's term. The developer and its principal owners must maintain the confidentiality of Beyond Juicery Eatery's proprietary information and trade secrets, obtained through the franchisor, both during and after the agreement's term.

In summary, to avoid default, a Beyond Juicery Eatery developer must meet the development schedule, secure approved locations, comply with all laws and regulations, and protect the franchisor's confidential information. Failure to meet these obligations can result in the termination of the development agreement and loss of development rights.
