Crisp_Green Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
You will be required to locate a site that you believe is acceptable for your Franchised Restaurant and provide us with all information we require relating to the proposed site. We will have 30 days after we receive all of the information we require to notify you whether the site is approved. Unless we provide our specific approval, a proposed site is deemed not approved. If we cannot agree on a proposed site, we may elect to terminate that Franchise Agreement and retain the entire initial franchise fee.
We will evaluate each proposed site based on the market area, population density and other demographic characteristics, visibility, traffic flow, competition, accessibility, parking, size, and other physical and commercial characteristics. In general, we believe that ideal sites for Restaurants are between 2,000 – 2,500 square feet, are located in an upscale urban or suburban multi-tenant development, are located on a building end-cap, have a patio, and have plentiful free parking spaces. However, we evaluate sites on a case by case basis and sites that are suitable for Restaurants may not necessarily have all of these characteristics. Once we have approved a site, it is your responsibility to conform the premises to local ordinances and building codes, and to obtain any required permits. Additionally, it is your responsibility to oversee the construction, remodeling, and/or decorating of the premises, according to the standards and guidelines we provide you.
