What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is responsible for selecting a site within the Preliminary Designated Area and must obtain written approval from Crisp & Green before signing any site acquisition documents. The franchisee must send Crisp & Green a description of the proposed site. This description should include a summary of demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking availability, the character of the neighborhood, competition from other businesses, proximity to other businesses, the nature of other businesses, other commercial characteristics, and the proposed site's size, appearance, and other physical characteristics.
In addition to the site description, the franchisee must also provide a letter of intent or other evidence confirming favorable prospects for the purchase or lease of the proposed site. Crisp & Green will then use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove the proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving the franchisee's written proposal.
If Crisp & Green does not approve of a proposed site, the franchisee is responsible for identifying and notifying Crisp & Green of new sites until a site is approved. Upon approval, the address will be inserted into Exhibit B of the Franchise Agreement, designating it as the Premises. This process ensures that the selected location meets Crisp & Green's criteria and has a high likelihood of success.
