What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee has been approved to operate a Crisp & Go Location, they may operate it at a site within their Designated Area that Crisp & Green has approved in writing.
Furthermore, outside of an approved Crisp & Go Location, a franchisee is not authorized to sell food and beverage products out of a location other than the Premises unless Crisp & Green has provided written consent.
Crisp & Green also states that if they suggest, approve, or give information regarding a site, their action is not a representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, of the site's suitability. Crisp & Green does not represent that they have special expertise in selecting sites, and their action indicates only that they believe that the site meets their then acceptable criteria and not that the Franchised Restaurant will be profitable or successful at the Premises. The franchisee's acceptance of the franchise is based on their own independent investigation of the site's suitability for the Premises.
