What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, modifications to the Development Agreement require a specific condition. Section 17 of the Development Agreement states that any modifications must be agreed upon in writing to be considered valid. This requirement ensures that both Brueggers Bagels and the developer are in complete agreement regarding any changes to the original terms.
This stipulation is a standard practice in franchising to protect both parties. Requiring written consent prevents misunderstandings or disputes that could arise from verbal agreements or assumptions. It provides a clear and documented record of any changes made to the Development Agreement, ensuring transparency and accountability.
For a prospective Brueggers Bagels developer, this means that any desired changes to the Development Agreement, whether related to development schedules, territory, or other terms, must be formally documented and agreed upon in writing by both the developer and Brueggers Bagels. This protects the developer by ensuring that Brueggers Bagels cannot unilaterally alter the agreement. It also protects Brueggers Bagels by ensuring that any modifications are properly authorized and recorded, maintaining the integrity of the franchise system.
