What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beverly Anns Cookie Franchise Disclosure Document, the Permitted Business Addendum, or "PB Addendum," is an agreement effective as of the date of signature that amends the franchise agreement, including all addenda and attachments, between Mobile Coffee Company, LLC, the franchisor, and the franchisee. This addendum also involves an affiliated entity that provides "Permitted Business Services."
This addendum allows a Beverly Anns Cookie franchisee to engage in other business activities that are related to or complementary to the core cookie business. It outlines the specific services that the franchisee's affiliated entity is permitted to provide. The PB Addendum also sets restrictions and conditions on the provision of these permitted business services, ensuring they do not conflict with the Beverly Ann's Cookie franchise agreement.
Non-compliance with the terms and conditions outlined in the PB Addendum by either the franchisee or the affiliated entity may be considered a breach of both the PB Addendum itself and the overall franchise agreement. The franchisee and the affiliated entity must maintain the confidentiality of the PB Addendum's terms, preventing disclosure to third parties without the franchisor's prior written consent. All other terms of the Franchise Agreement remain in effect.
