What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery FDD, the timeframe for opening a franchised restaurant is dictated by the Development Schedule outlined in Attachment 1 of the Area Development Agreement. The franchisee, referred to as the 'Developer,' must ensure each restaurant is open and operating by the dates specified in this schedule.
Location selection is subject to Beyond Juicery Eatery's approval, ensuring it aligns with the Franchise Agreement and Development Schedule. The franchisor's consent to a location or the execution of a Franchise Agreement does not alter the Development Schedule. All restaurants must operate under the Beyond Juicery + Eatery System unless otherwise agreed upon.
If a location closes, the franchisee must secure an alternative location approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery within three months and reopen for business within nine months of the original closure, all while adhering to the Development Schedule. Failure to comply with these timelines or the Development Schedule can result in the termination of the Area Development Agreement and the right to develop further locations. Replacing a closed location does not count towards the franchisee's obligation to open new locations under the agreement.
