Does any officer of Bang Cookies currently own an interest in any of their designated suppliers?

According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, currently no officer of Bang Cookies owns an interest in any of their designated suppliers.

This means that as of the issuance date of the FDD, there is no direct financial relationship between Bang Cookies's leadership and the companies that supply goods and services to franchisees. This arrangement is intended to ensure fair dealings and prevent potential conflicts of interest where officers might prioritize suppliers they have a stake in, possibly at the expense of franchisee profitability.

However, the FDD also states that Bang Cookies may designate themselves and their affiliates as exclusive suppliers of source restricted goods and services. They may also receive rebates, payments, and other material benefits from suppliers based on franchisee purchases. While officers may not directly own supplier interests, Bang Cookies as a company can still profit from required purchases, and they reserve the right to institute and expand rebate programs in the future.

Prospective franchisees should monitor any changes to supplier relationships and revenue structures. It is important to understand how these relationships could evolve and potentially impact the cost and availability of essential supplies and services for their Bang Cookies franchise.
