What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Auntie Anne's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual Remote Location Baking License Fee is $3,000. This fee is applicable when a franchisee bakes Auntie Anne's products at their primary shop location and then sells those products at an alternate, remote location.
This license is designed for venues such as stadiums that may not be suitable for a full Auntie Anne's franchise or other program. It allows franchisees to extend their reach and revenue by selling at these additional locations without the overhead of a separate full franchise location.
The fee is due as incurred, meaning it is payable annually for as long as the franchisee operates the remote baking setup. This provides Auntie Anne's with a recurring revenue stream for the additional sales channel while allowing the franchisee to test or maintain a presence in venues that might not otherwise be accessible.
