What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Crisp & Green does not approve a proposed site for your franchise, you are required to identify and notify them of new sites until they approve a location. The FDD states that Crisp & Green will use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove the proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving your written proposal.
Before signing any lease, sublease, purchase contract, or other site acquisition documents, you must obtain written approval from Crisp & Green for the proposed site of the Franchised Restaurant. You are responsible for selecting the site within the Preliminary Designated Area outlined on Exhibit B.
Crisp & Green outlines that they will offer reasonable assistance in analyzing your market area, assessing site feasibility, and designating the location, but they will not conduct site selection activities for you. It is important to note that if you decide to use a broker to identify a location, you will be responsible for any associated costs. Once Crisp & Green approves a site, its address will be added to Exhibit B, officially designating it as the Premises.
