Besides meeting the Development Schedule, are the continuation of a Brueggers Bagels developer's rights regarding the Development Area contingent upon meeting any particular sales volume or market penetration?

According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer's rights to a Development Area are primarily contingent on meeting the Development Schedule outlined in the Development Agreement. This schedule specifies the number of Brueggers Bagels bakeries the developer must open and the dates by which they must be operational.

The FDD clarifies that, beyond adhering to the Development Schedule, the continuation of a developer's rights in the Development Area is not dependent on achieving specific sales volumes or market penetration targets. Brueggers Bagels does not have the right to alter the Development Area as long as the developer fulfills their obligations under the Development Agreement.

This arrangement offers a degree of security for Brueggers Bagels developers, as their rights are tied to development milestones rather than fluctuating market conditions or sales performance. However, it's crucial for prospective developers to carefully assess the feasibility of the Development Schedule before signing the agreement, as failure to meet these deadlines can result in the termination of their development rights.
