Based on the 2025 Brueggers Bagels Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no specific date provided by which a Brueggers Bagels bakery must be open in the provided excerpts. The excerpts discuss site selection, the Franchise Agreement, and obligations upon termination or expiration, but do not include a table or any other explicit details specifying a deadline for opening a bakery.
Item 22 discusses the site selection process, stating that information for each bakery and the request for approval should be submitted to the franchisor by the date set forth in the Development Schedule.

They should also carefully review the Franchise Agreement to understand the obligations and timeframes related to opening the bakery after the site has been approved.
