What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beverly Anns Cookie has the right to unilaterally reduce the scope of all or part of any Brand Covenant without the franchisee's consent. This can occur before or after a dispute arises.
The reduction becomes effective when Beverly Anns Cookie provides the franchisee with written notice of the reduction. The franchisee must then agree to comply with any modifications to the Brand Covenants.
This means that Beverly Anns Cookie can change the non-compete agreement at any time, and the franchisee is bound to comply once they receive written notice. This gives Beverly Anns Cookie significant flexibility but also places a responsibility on franchisees to stay informed of any changes to their obligations. Franchisees should carefully review any such notices and seek legal counsel if they have concerns about the modifications.
