What are the requirements for licensing and registering the GRM/GRT for a Beverly Anns Cookie franchise?
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.
