What is the consequence if the Licensee fails to commence operation of the Brueggers Bagels bakery as required?

According to Brueggers Bagels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to construct and open the bakery within the time specified in Section 6.7 of the License Agreement, it can lead to termination of the agreement.

This means that adhering to the construction and opening timelines outlined in the agreement is critical for a Brueggers Bagels franchisee. Failure to meet these deadlines can result in the franchisor terminating the agreement, which would mean the franchisee loses the right to operate the Brueggers Bagels location. This could also mean losing any upfront franchise fees or investments made in the site.

It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review Section 6.7 of the License Agreement to fully understand the specific timeframes and requirements for constructing and opening the bakery. Franchisees should also factor in potential delays or challenges that could impact their ability to meet these deadlines and communicate proactively with Brueggers Bagels if any issues arise during the development process.
