What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for picking up their GRM/GRT (mobile retail unit) from the Kona Ice Corporate Office, which is located in Florence, KY, after completing their initial training. Alternatively, franchisees can opt to have the GRM/GRT delivered to them from the same location in Florence, Kentucky.
If a franchisee chooses to have their GRM/GRT delivered, they will be responsible for paying the delivery fee directly to the transportation company. The delivery fee will be based on the transportation company's current delivery rates at the time of delivery.
Therefore, a prospective Beverly Anns Cookie franchisee needs to factor in either the cost of travel to Florence, KY to pick up the GRM/GRT, or the cost of delivery from Florence, KY, when considering the overall investment required to start the franchise.
