What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, you must obtain a site survey from one of their approved vendors. The FDD also states that Crisp & Green has a required architectural vendor who you must use for the creation of the architectural plans for your Franchised Restaurant.
This means that as a prospective Crisp & Green franchisee, you do not have the freedom to choose any site survey company. You are restricted to using vendors that Crisp & Green has already vetted and approved. This is a common practice in franchising, allowing the franchisor to maintain consistency and quality control across all locations.
While this restriction limits your options, it also offers the potential benefit of working with vendors who are familiar with Crisp & Green's specific requirements. It is important to understand that you will bear the expense of the site survey and architectural plans. Therefore, it would be prudent to inquire about the costs associated with these services from Crisp & Green's approved vendors during your due diligence process.
