What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moe's Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Deadline Extension Fee is due on invoice. This fee amounts to $2,500 per missed deadline.
This fee is payable if a franchisee fails to meet the Site Approval Deadline, Construction Start Deadline, or Opening Deadline, as defined in Item 11 of the FDD. It also applies if Moe's Southwest Grill grants an extension to any of these deadlines.
Moe's Southwest Grill may terminate the Franchise Agreement if the franchisee fails to open by the Opening Deadline or fails to cure a default of the Site Approval or Construction Start Deadlines. This highlights the importance of adhering to the development schedule and communicating with the franchisor regarding any potential delays.
