Yes, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit D to the Big Apple Bagels Franchise Disclosure Document is the Disclosure Acknowledgement Statement. Prospective franchisees will likely need to review, sign, and submit this document as part of the franchising process. This acknowledgement typically confirms that the franchisee has received, read, and understood the FDD and its contents.

Furthermore, certain states like Washington require addenda to agreements such as the Disclosure Acknowledgment Statement. These addenda modify the standard agreements to comply with state-specific franchise laws.

Therefore, franchisees should carefully review Exhibit D and any state-specific addenda with a legal professional to fully understand their rights and obligations before signing the agreement.
