What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Crisp & Green FDD states that franchisees are responsible for identifying and securing locations for their restaurants. However, the FDD does not specify what actions a franchisee must take if Crisp & Green does not approve a proposed site.
Because the FDD does not outline the procedure to follow if a site is rejected, prospective Crisp & Green franchisees should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding site selection.
Specifically, franchisees should ask about the criteria used for site approval, the appeals process (if any) for rejected sites, and the level of support Crisp & Green provides in identifying alternative locations. Understanding these aspects is crucial for managing expectations and mitigating potential delays in opening a franchise.
