What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Bottler Bottle/Can Beverage' includes specific brands and beverages from certain distributors. The FDD specifies that 'Bottler Bottle/Can Beverages' include Monster, NOS, and Full Throttle brand Bottle/Can Beverages purchased directly from a bottler. Additionally, it encompasses Bottle/Can Beverages purchased directly from a bottler that has the rights to distribute beverages marketed under trademarks owned, licensed, controlled, or distributed by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (DPSG) or its subsidiaries, affiliates, bottlers, or any entity or joint venture in which DPSG has at least a 50% ownership interest.
Furthermore, Even Hotels requires each hotel to offer a core brand set of Bottler Bottle/Can Beverages, contingent on availability from the bottler. This core set includes Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Coke Zero. The remaining Bottler Bottle/Can Beverages are selected by the franchisee, subject to approval from the Coca-Cola Company, which the document states will not be unreasonably withheld.
This arrangement ensures that Even Hotels franchisees have access to a range of popular beverage options while also adhering to specific brand and supplier agreements. Franchisees should be aware of the approved brands and the importance of sourcing these beverages from authorized bottlers to comply with the franchise agreement and benefit from any incentive programs or pricing agreements in place.
