What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aunt Millie's Bakeries FDD, the description of your designated geographic sales area, or "Sales Area," is specifically defined in your Distribution Agreement. Aunt Millie's Bakeries grants you the exclusive right to distribute certain products under specific brand names within this Sales Area.
The Sales Area's definition in the Distribution Agreement will outline the geographic boundaries, and it may include or exclude specific outlets or areas within those boundaries. The FDD provides an example of a Sales Area description in Schedule A, using specific roads and geographic features to define the territory's limits. For example, the description begins at a point where I-40 intersects with Chapman Highway and proceeds along various roads and boundaries, also including the entire County of Fayette.
It's important to note that the Sales Area's boundaries are determined as of the date of the Distribution Agreement. Any subsequent changes to political subdivisions, lines, or boundaries will not affect the defined Sales Area unless both you and Aunt Millie's Bakeries agree to the changes in writing. The Distribution Agreement may also list specific outlet addresses, such as the Wal-Mart SuperCenter #2065 and Food Lion #824, that are included in your Sales Area. Therefore, a prospective franchisee should carefully review Schedule A of their Distribution Agreement to fully understand the scope and limitations of their Sales Area.
