Does Brueggers Bagels provide a warranty concerning the restaurant or its drawings and specifications?

According to the 2025 FDD, Brueggers Bagels does not provide any warranties regarding the restaurant itself, or the drawings and specifications provided to the franchisee. The FDD states that while Brueggers Bagels will provide basic drawings and specifications, specify furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and maintain certain rights of review and/or approval, the franchisee acknowledges that they have not received or relied upon any warranty from Brueggers Bagels concerning these items.

This means that as a franchisee, you are solely responsible for the construction, conversion, or remodeling of the Brueggers Bagels restaurant and ensuring that it complies with all applicable laws, codes, and regulations. Brueggers Bagels assumes no liability or obligation in connection with the plans or the construction process. This is a critical point for potential franchisees to understand, as it places the onus of ensuring the restaurant meets all requirements and standards on them, without any guarantee from the franchisor.

Prospective franchisees should conduct thorough due diligence, including consulting with construction professionals and legal advisors, to fully understand the implications of this lack of warranty. It is important to carefully review the drawings and specifications provided by Brueggers Bagels and to verify their accuracy and compliance with local regulations. Franchisees should also obtain appropriate insurance coverage to protect themselves against potential construction-related risks and liabilities.
