What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt FDD, there are several conditions that must be met before initial training can begin. First, all training applicants must be approved by Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt, and the franchisor will not withhold approval without a valid reason. Second, the Franchise Agreement and any related agreements must be fully executed by both the franchisee and Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt.
Third, the lease or sublease for the premises must be executed by the franchisee and the lessor or sublessor (or the franchisor, if applicable), and a copy must be provided to Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt.
