What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, during the term of the franchise agreement, franchisees, their owners (including family and household members), officers, directors, executives, managers, professional staff, and employees are prohibited from owning, operating, or having any interest in a competing business. This non-compete clause is in place to protect Beyond Juicery Eatery's business model and market position.
After the franchise agreement is terminated or expires, a similar non-compete covenant remains in effect for a period of three years. During this time, the franchisee, their owners (including family and household members), officers, directors, executives, managers, and professional staff are prohibited from owning or working for a competing business within 20 miles of the franchise location's designated area or within 20 miles of any other Beyond Juicery Eatery Restaurant's designated area. They are also prohibited from soliciting or influencing any of Beyond Juicery Eatery's customers, employees, or business associates to compete with them or terminate their relationship with Beyond Juicery Eatery.
These non-competition covenants are standard practice in franchising to protect the brand and prevent franchisees from using the franchisor's knowledge and resources to directly compete, both during the active franchise agreement and for a reasonable period afterward. Franchisees should carefully consider these restrictions before investing in a Beyond Juicery Eatery franchise, as they could limit future business opportunities.
