What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the premises of a Brueggers Bagels bakery are damaged or destroyed through no fault of the franchisee, such that repairs or reconstruction cannot be completed within 60 days, the franchisee has a 30-day window after the event to apply for approval to relocate and/or reconstruct the bakery.
This approval from Brueggers Bagels will not be unreasonably withheld. This clause protects the franchisee from immediate termination if unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters or accidental damage, render the bakery inoperable.
It is important to note that the franchisee must apply for approval to relocate or reconstruct within the specified timeframe. Failure to do so may result in the termination of the franchise agreement. The approval process ensures that any relocation or reconstruction aligns with Brueggers Bagels's brand standards and operational requirements.
