Where can a Big Apple Bagels franchisee find more details about operating the Wholesale Program?

According to Big Apple Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding the operation of the Wholesale Program can be found in the Operations Manual. The Franchise Agreement also contains provisions relevant to the Wholesale Program. Specifically, the Wholesale Program must be operated in strict conformance with both the Franchise Agreement and the Operations Manual.

This means that a prospective Big Apple Bagels franchisee should carefully review both documents to understand the requirements, restrictions, and guidelines for participating in the Wholesale Program. The Operations Manual likely contains day-to-day procedures, standards for product handling and delivery, and other practical details. The Franchise Agreement outlines the legal obligations and conditions associated with the program.

It is important to note that participation in the Wholesale Program is not guaranteed and is expressly conditioned upon the franchisee being in good standing. Additionally, the franchisor retains significant control over the program, including the right to approve wholesale customers, modify or terminate a franchisee's participation, and set insurance coverage requirements. Franchisees are responsible for conforming to all applicable health, sanitation, food handling, and food transportation requirements.

Therefore, a potential franchisee should ask Big Apple Bagels for a copy of the Operations Manual and carefully review the Franchise Agreement to fully understand the scope and requirements of the Wholesale Program before investing in a franchise.
