What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, Crisp & Green will use reasonable efforts to either approve or disapprove a proposed site for a franchised restaurant within 30 days. This 30-day period starts after Crisp & Green receives a completed site approval package from the franchisee. The site approval package must be in a format specified by Crisp & Green and contain all information and materials that Crisp & Green reasonably requires.
If Crisp & Green does not provide written notice of approval or disapproval within the 30-day timeframe, the site is considered disapproved. However, no site is considered approved unless Crisp & Green expressly approves it in writing. If a proposed site is disapproved, the franchisee is responsible for identifying and submitting new sites for approval until Crisp & Green approves one.
This process highlights the importance of submitting a complete and well-documented site approval package to Crisp & Green. Franchisees should ensure they understand Crisp & Green's requirements for the site approval package to avoid delays in the approval process. The franchisee bears the responsibility of finding an acceptable site, and should factor in the time it may take to find a location that is approved by Crisp & Green.
