Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the excerpt provided includes a reference to a 3-Pack Addendum within Schedule E of the Franchise Agreement for Bens Soft Pretzels. However, the document does not detail the specific exceptions or modifications to the standard franchise agreement that are outlined within the 3-Pack Addendum itself. The excerpt only mentions its existence, particularly in relation to the initial franchise fee.

Without the full text of the 3-Pack Addendum, it is impossible to determine the exact nature and scope of the exceptions it contains. It is common practice for franchise agreements to be modified by addenda that address specific circumstances, such as multi-unit ownership or territory-specific terms. The reference to the 3-Pack Addendum suggests that franchisees purchasing multiple units (in this case, three) may have different terms related to fees, development schedules, or other obligations.

A prospective Bens Soft Pretzels franchisee considering a 3-Pack option should carefully review the complete 3-Pack Addendum to understand how it alters the standard franchise agreement. Key areas to examine would be the initial franchise fees for each unit, development timelines, performance expectations, and any territory-related stipulations. It would be prudent to consult with a franchise attorney to fully understand the implications of the 3-Pack Addendum before making a final investment decision.
