What is Crisp & Green's right regarding replacements or relocations of fixtures not previously approved?

According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must obtain prior approval from Crisp & Green before making any alterations to the franchised restaurant. This requirement extends to any replacements, relocations, or alterations of fixtures, equipment, furniture, or signs within the restaurant.

Crisp & Green retains the right to rectify, including reversing, any unapproved changes made by the franchisee. This means that if a franchisee undertakes modifications without obtaining the necessary approval, Crisp & Green has the authority to correct the situation at the franchisee's expense. The franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with restoring the restaurant to its original, approved condition.

This provision ensures that all Crisp & Green locations maintain a uniform image and adhere to the brand's standards. It protects the brand's reputation and customer experience by preventing unauthorized modifications that could deviate from the established design and operational guidelines. Prospective franchisees should be aware of these restrictions and the potential costs associated with non-compliance.
