What information must be included in the notice of transfer to an affiliated franchisee for a Brueggers Bagels franchise?

According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee intends to transfer their right to develop and operate a bakery to an affiliate, they must provide written notice to Brueggers Bagels at least 30 days before the transfer. This notice must include specific details about the affiliate who will be the transferee.

The required information includes identifying the transferee, describing the transferee's position of employment, and providing a calculation that demonstrates the planned transfer complies with the regulations outlined in Section 8.3 of the franchise agreement. This ensures Brueggers Bagels is fully informed about the transfer and can assess whether it meets the necessary conditions.

This requirement allows Brueggers Bagels to maintain control over who operates their franchises, even in cases of transfers to affiliated entities. It ensures that the new franchisee affiliate is properly vetted and that the transfer adheres to the terms of the franchise agreement, particularly concerning control and equity. The 30-day notice period provides Brueggers Bagels with sufficient time to review the proposed transfer and make any necessary determinations.
