What information must a Brueggers Bagels franchisee submit to evaluate a proposed site for a Bakery?

Before acquiring a site for the Bakery, you must submit any information that we reasonably request to evaluate the proposed site. In order to accomplish this, you must provide fully executed site control documentation, related addenda, a preliminary site plan, and a site selection form. The criteria that we evaluate in the site approval process include, but are not limited to, accessibility, visibility, traffic counts, traffic patterns, demographics, available parking, and local competition. We will provide the standard site selection assistance for each Bakery. We may physically review your proposed sites and provide on-site evaluations, if we deem them advisable. We will accept or reject the proposed site in writing within 30 days after we receive all requested information from you for a proposed site. After site approval, we will provide you with a Franchise Agreement or License Agreement for that site. The site that we approved will be designated as the "Premises" in Exhibit A to the Franchise Agreement. If we reject your proposed site, we will encourage you to submit alternative site(s). If we do not approve a site, and accordingly you are not open and in operation within nine months after signing the Franchise Agreement, the Franchise Agreement will terminate.

Any binding commitment to purchase or lease the site must be made contingent upon our approval of the site and the preliminary site drawings. You must submit a copy of the proposed lease or purchase agreement for the site to us for approval. Our approval of the lease or purchase agreement will be conditioned upon the inclusion in the lease or purchase agreement of terms acceptable to us.
