How is the Development Territory defined for a Chop5 Salad Kitchen area developer?

According to the 2024 Chop5 Salad Kitchen Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Territory for an area developer is defined as the geographic area described in Part C of ATTACHMENT "A" of the Area Development Agreement.

This means that the specific boundaries and details of the territory granted to an area developer are not explicitly outlined in this section of the FDD but are instead detailed in a separate attachment. A prospective area developer needs to carefully review Part C of ATTACHMENT "A" to understand the size, location, and any other specific characteristics of their potential development territory.

Understanding the Development Territory is crucial for an area developer because it dictates where they have the right and obligation to develop Chop5 Salad Kitchen restaurants. The Development Schedule, also referenced in the FDD, outlines the timeline for opening restaurants within this territory. Therefore, the area developer must ensure that the territory is viable and can support the number of restaurants required by the development schedule. The Site Selection Area, also described in Part C of ATTACHMENT "A", is the area within the Development Territory where the developer must find a site approved by Chop5 Salad Kitchen for each restaurant.
