What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Byrider Franchising Partners does not provide written approval or disapproval of a proposed site within 30 days after receiving a franchisee's written proposal, the location will be considered disapproved. This means the franchisee will need to resubmit the site for approval.
Site approval is a crucial step before opening a Byrider Business. Byrider Franchising Partners considers several factors when evaluating a proposed site, including the demographics of the location, accessibility, daily traffic counts, level of competition, rent and construction costs, and the sufficiency of residential and commercial backup to support the business. The franchisee is ultimately responsible for acquiring a suitable site.
This requirement ensures that Byrider maintains consistent brand standards and selects viable locations. For a prospective franchisee, this means that site selection is a collaborative process with specific criteria. If the initial site is not approved, the franchisee must continue to search for and submit alternate sites until one meets Byrider's requirements. This could potentially delay the opening of the business, as Byrider requires the business to open within one year of signing the Franchise Agreement.
