What is the franchisee's obligation if Crisp & Green disapproves of a proposed site for a Crisp & Green Restaurant?

Based on the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Crisp & Green franchisee is responsible for identifying, submitting for approval, and securing the location for their restaurant. While the FDD excerpt specifies that the franchisee is responsible for site selection, it does not detail the franchisee's obligations if Crisp & Green disapproves of a proposed site.

Without specific details in this excerpt, it is unclear whether the franchisee is obligated to submit an alternative site, if there are any penalties for delays caused by site disapproval, or if Crisp & Green provides assistance in finding an acceptable location.

A prospective Crisp & Green franchisee should ask the franchisor about the site selection process, including the criteria for approval, the number of sites that are typically rejected before one is approved, and what support the franchisor offers in the event of a site disapproval. Understanding these aspects is crucial for managing expectations and planning the restaurant's launch effectively.
