What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Apple Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon the execution of the Preliminary Agreement, Big Apple Bagels will furnish the prospective franchisee with its written criteria for site selection. This document outlines the specific standards and requirements that Big Apple Bagels uses to evaluate potential locations for a franchise.
This means that a prospective franchisee will receive the site selection criteria immediately after signing the Preliminary Agreement. The franchisee must return the criteria to Big Apple Bagels upon termination of the agreement.
The franchisee is then responsible for finding and submitting potential sites that meet these criteria to Big Apple Bagels for approval within 60 days of signing the Preliminary Agreement. Big Apple Bagels retains the right to approve or disapprove any site based on factors such as location, demographics, traffic patterns, parking, competition, and lease terms. This process ensures that new Big Apple Bagels locations align with the brand's standards and have the best chance for success.
