What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the development fee for an Area Development Agreement ranges from $40,000 to $180,000. This fee is paid in a lump sum when signing the Area Development Agreement with Beyond Juicery Eatery. This fee is specifically for the reservation of future development rights within the agreed-upon territory.
The development schedule that this fee is based on is for five to ten restaurants. The franchisee is obligated to develop an agreed-upon number of restaurants within a defined territory and schedule. This upfront investment grants the franchisee the right to expand the Beyond Juicery Eatery brand within a specific market, but also carries the responsibility of meeting the development obligations outlined in the agreement.
It is important to note that the development fee is non-refundable under any circumstances. Additionally, while a franchisee pays this development fee, they will also need to sign a separate franchise agreement for each restaurant they open within the development territory and pay the then-current initial franchise fee for each location. However, Beyond Juicery Eatery will credit $20,000 (or $10,000 if the franchisee received the veteran discount) against the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each Restaurant developed under the Area Development Agreement.
