What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, for each Bang Cookies shop that a franchisee owns, develops, and opens in the Development Area, the franchisee must execute Bang Cookies's then-current standard Franchise Agreement.
The Franchise Agreement must be executed on or before the earliest of three dates: (a) when the franchisee executes a lease for the shop location, subject to Bang Cookies's approval; (b) when the franchisee enters into a purchase agreement for the real estate of the shop location, again subject to Bang Cookies's approval; or (c) six months before the shop must be open and operating according to the Development Schedule.
This requirement ensures that each Bang Cookies location within a development area operates under the most up-to-date terms and conditions set by the franchisor. It also aligns the franchisee's obligations with the specific location and its opening timeline, as defined in the Development Schedule. The franchisee needs to be proactive in securing locations and executing the Franchise Agreement to comply with the development timeline and avoid potential delays or breaches of the agreement.
