2. GRANT OF FRANCHISE
As a Beverly Ann's Cookie Truck franchisee, you will operate a mobile business providing cookies, ice cream, and related products to the general public ("Franchised Business"). The Franchised Business will operate under our service marks, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, slogans and commercial symbols as we may from time to time authorize or direct you to use with the operation of the Franchised Business (the "Marks"). We and our affiliates use, promote, and license a registered patent to be used in connection with the operation of Franchised Businesses, and we may create, use, and license other patents for the same use (the "Patent").
You must operate your Franchised Business with either our proprietary Beverly Ann's Cookie Truck mobile truck, the "Grandma's Recipe Motor Vehicle" ("GRM") or our proprietary "Grandma's Recipe Trailer" ("GRT)." We will refer to the primary vehicle (either the GRM or a GRT) used in the Franchised Business as the "GR Vehicle." Franchisees may also operate an additional GRT as "Additional Equipment" (see Section 7.4). This Franchise Agreement grants you the right to operate the GR Vehicle within the Territory (defined below).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you will operate a mobile business from either the proprietary Beverly Ann's Cookie Truck mobile truck, referred to as the "Grandma's Recipe Motor Vehicle" (GRM), or the proprietary "Grandma's Recipe Trailer" (GRT). The primary vehicle, whether it's the GRM or GRT, is referred to as the "GR Vehicle." Franchisees also have the option to operate an additional GRT as "Additional Equipment."
Beverly Anns Cookie does not provide site selection assistance because the franchise is a mobile business. However, you must operate from a commissary with a walk-in freezer and oven that meets Beverly Ann's Cookie's specifications and is approved by local health authorities. If your commissary lacks a suitable walk-in freezer, you will be required to purchase one. You may also choose to rent an executive suite office or other commercial office space.
Depending on local laws and community rules, you may need to rent or lease storage space for your GRM/GRT at a commissary location or other location. You are required to store the GRM/GRT in a location that will not be subject to freezing temperatures, as improper winterization can cause equipment failure not covered under warranty. The franchise agreement grants you the right to operate the GR Vehicle within a specific territory, and Beverly Anns Cookie retains all territorial rights not expressly granted to you.
