What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aunt Millies Bakeries's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for vehicle maintenance ranges from $156 to $780 for the first three months of operation. This estimate covers expenses such as oil, grease, tires, and other routine maintenance. The lower end of the estimate is for a new vehicle, while the higher end assumes the franchisee is using an older, used vehicle.
Vehicle maintenance costs are paid to a third-party vendor as needed. It is important to note that these are only estimates, and actual costs may vary depending on the condition of the vehicle, driving habits, and local maintenance costs.
Prospective Aunt Millies Bakeries franchisees should carefully consider the age and condition of their delivery vehicle, as this will significantly impact maintenance expenses. Budgeting for the higher end of the estimated range is advisable, especially if using an older vehicle, to avoid unexpected financial strain during the initial months of operation.
