Crisp_Green Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
We grant qualified candidates the right to operate one or more Restaurants according to our Franchise Agreement and our Standards. The form of our Franchise Agreement is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit B. The Standards will be communicated to you through our confidential operations manual (the "Operations Manual").
We offer qualified candidates the right to develop multiple Franchised Restaurants within a specific area during a specific time under the terms of an Area Development Agreement. You must agree to open a minimum of three Franchised Restaurants under an Area Development Agreement. The Area Development Agreement is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit C. If you sign an Area Development Agreement, you will sign a separate then-current form of the Franchise Agreement for each Franchised Restaurant you develop under your Area Development Agreement, which may differ from the current Franchise Agreement attached to this disclosure document. You and we will agree on a timeline for opening the Franchised Restaurants, which will be set forth in the Area Development Agreement. Under the timeline, you will be required to open your first Franchised Restaurant within nine months after execution of the first Franchise Agreement, which you will sign at the same time you sign the Area Development Agreement, and then you will typically be required to open each subsequent Franchised Restaurant every nine months after that until you have met your total Franchised Restaurant openings commitment.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement outlines the right for qualified candidates to operate one or more Crisp & Green Restaurants. The document specifies that the form of the Franchise Agreement is included as Exhibit B to the disclosure document.
Crisp & Green also offers the option to purchase and operate a "Crisp & Go" designated pickup area, which is offsite from the Franchised Restaurant. The term "Franchised Restaurant" encompasses the operations of a Crisp & Go Location, should the franchisee choose to incorporate one into their operations and Crisp & Green allows it.
In addition to the standard Franchise Agreement, Crisp & Green offers an Area Development Agreement for candidates interested in developing multiple Franchised Restaurants within a specific area and timeframe. The document states that a minimum of three Franchised Restaurants must be opened under an Area Development Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit C. If an Area Development Agreement is signed, a separate Franchise Agreement is required for each restaurant, with a timeline agreed upon for opening the restaurants. The first Franchised Restaurant must be opened within nine months after the execution of the initial Franchise Agreement, and subsequent restaurants typically every nine months thereafter until the commitment is fulfilled.
