Who is responsible for identifying and securing specific sites for each Crisp & Green Franchised Restaurant?

According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for identifying, submitting for approval, and securing specific sites for each Franchised Restaurant. This responsibility falls under the conditions that must be met to open a Franchised Restaurant as part of the Development Schedule.

This means that prospective Crisp & Green franchisees must take the initiative in finding suitable locations for their restaurants. They cannot rely on Crisp & Green to provide sites. The franchisee is responsible for all aspects of site selection, including identifying potential locations, conducting due diligence, and negotiating lease terms.

However, the selected site is subject to approval by Crisp & Green. This implies that while the franchisee has the primary responsibility for site selection, Crisp & Green retains the right to ensure that the chosen location meets their criteria and standards. This process protects the brand and ensures consistency across all franchise locations. Franchisees should, therefore, understand Crisp & Green's site selection criteria before investing significant time and resources in identifying potential locations.
