What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer restrictions outlined in the Area Development Agreement do not apply to previously signed Franchise Agreements for individual Crisp & Green restaurants. This means a developer can transfer existing franchise agreements independently of the Area Development Agreement, provided they comply with the transfer provisions of each individual franchise agreement.

This provision offers flexibility to Crisp & Green developers who may wish to sell or transfer individual restaurant franchises without affecting their broader development agreement. However, it's crucial for developers to carefully review and adhere to the specific transfer requirements detailed in each franchise agreement they intend to transfer. These requirements likely include obtaining Crisp & Green's approval and potentially paying a transfer fee for each franchise agreement.

This clause protects the franchisor by ensuring that any transfer of a franchise adheres to the standards and qualifications they deem necessary, even if the developer is transferring the rights independently of the broader development agreement. The prospective franchisee should pay close attention to the transfer requirements in both the Area Development Agreement and the individual Franchise Agreements to fully understand their obligations and rights.
