What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beverly Anns Cookie Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not explicitly state whether a training fee is associated with a franchise transfer. However, it does mention training fees in other contexts.
The FDD states that Beverly Anns Cookie may offer periodic refresher or additional training courses, which may be optional or mandatory, and franchisees may be required to pay a fee as specified in the Brand Manual. Additionally, if Beverly Anns Cookie determines that a franchisee is not operating in compliance with the Franchise Agreement or Brand Manual, they may require remedial training, for which the franchisee must pay a fee as specified in the Brand Manual.
Because the FDD does not specify whether a training fee is required for franchise transfers, prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Beverly Anns Cookie about any potential training requirements or associated fees during the transfer process. This will help ensure a clear understanding of all costs and obligations involved in acquiring an existing Beverly Anns Cookie franchise.
