What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beyond Juicery Eatery has specific rights regarding the franchisee's restaurant location, particularly if the franchisee defaults on the lease agreement. If an event occurs that gives Beyond Juicery Eatery the option to accept the assignment of the lease and the company chooses not to, the franchisee must promptly remove all Beyond Juicery Eatery trademarks from the premises.
Should the franchisee fail to remove the trademarks, the landlord agrees that Beyond Juicery Eatery may enter the premises without being considered a trespasser or committing a tort in order to remove the branding and de-identify the location. The franchisee is responsible for all expenses Beyond Juicery Eatery incurs during this process, including attorney's fees.
This clause protects Beyond Juicery Eatery's brand and trademarks by ensuring that a former franchise location does not continue to represent the brand after the franchise agreement is terminated. It also makes the franchisee financially responsible for any costs associated with removing the branding, which could be a significant expense.
