What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Schedule, which outlines the requirements for establishing and operating Development Shops, is detailed in the Development Information Sheet. This schedule specifies the measurement periods, the number of Newly Opened Development Shops required within each period, and the minimum number of Cumulative Development Shops that must be operational by the end of each Development Period. The Development Information Sheet is crucial for franchisees as it sets the pace and expectations for their expansion.

The Development Information Sheet is attached as Schedule A to the Multi-Unit Development Agreement and is an integral part of the agreement. To be valid, this sheet must be completed and signed by Bang Cookies. Franchisees are obligated to meet the requirements of the Development Schedule, including the timely development, establishment, and operation of the required number of Bang Cookies shops within their designated Development Area for each Development Period.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review Schedule A to understand their obligations. Failing to meet the Development Schedule can lead to immediate termination of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement and any future development rights. The franchisee's adherence to the Development Schedule is essential, and they represent that they have independently analyzed the viability of the schedule and find it reasonable. This schedule is a critical component of the agreement, and franchisees must be prepared to meet its demands to maintain their development rights with Bang Cookies.
