Is a Bang Cookies franchisee required to secure and maintain licenses and permits?

According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to obtain all necessary permits and licenses. Specifically, the franchisee must obtain all required building, utility, sign, health, sanitation, and business permits and licenses. If the System Products and Services include and permit the service of alcohol, the franchisee must also obtain a liquor license.

This requirement is typical in the franchise industry, as it ensures that each Bang Cookies location operates legally and in compliance with local regulations. The franchisee bears the responsibility for securing these permits and licenses, highlighting the importance of understanding local laws and regulations before opening a franchise.

Furthermore, the franchisee must adhere to all applicable ordinances, building codes, and permit requirements during the construction and remodeling of their shop location. This includes complying with lease or deed requirements and restrictions. Failing to obtain the necessary permits and licenses could result in legal issues, delays in opening, or even the closure of the Bang Cookies shop.
