What should I do if my Beverly Anns Cookie GRM/GRT is subject to a manufacturer's vehicle safety recall?
Beverly_Anns_Cookie Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Any person who drives your GRM/GRT must have a valid driver's license and each of your GRMs or GRTs must be properly licensed and registered. The requirements for these licenses may vary, depending on your location. If we require safety additions to your GRM, GRT or any Additional Equipment or if your GRM/GRT is subject to a manufacturer's vehicle safety recall, you must immediately perform the required repairs, changes, maintenance and/or inspections before using your GRM, GRT or any Additional Equipment in the operation of your Beverly Ann's Business.
You should consult with a legal advisor about whether these and/or other requirements apply to your Beverly Ann's Business. Failing to comply with laws and regulations is a material breach of the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the GRM/GRT (mobile units) is subject to a manufacturer's vehicle safety recall, the franchisee must immediately perform the required repairs, changes, maintenance, and/or inspections before using the GRM/GRT in the operation of their Beverly Ann's Business.
This requirement ensures the safety of the vehicle and compliance with manufacturer's recommendations. Failing to address a safety recall could lead to accidents, injuries, and potential liability issues for the franchisee. It also protects the brand's reputation by ensuring that all vehicles used in the Beverly Ann's Cookie business meet safety standards.
The FDD also states that any person who drives the GRM/GRT must have a valid driver's license, and each GRM/GRT must be properly licensed and registered. The requirements for these licenses may vary, depending on the franchisee's location. Franchisees should consult with a legal advisor about whether these and/or other requirements apply to their Beverly Ann's Business. Failing to comply with laws and regulations is a material breach of the Franchise Agreement.
