What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the renewal fee for a Licensed Bakery is the greater of 10% of the then-current initial license fee or $1,250. This fee is due when you sign a successor License Agreement, assuming you are approved to continue operating the Bakery upon the expiration of your initial License Agreement.
For a prospective Brueggers Bagels licensee, this means that when the initial term of their license expires, they will need to pay a renewal fee to continue operating. The actual amount will depend on the initial license fee at the time of renewal, but it will be no less than $1,250. It's important to note that the Development Agreement is not renewable.
This renewal fee is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to recoup costs associated with the renewal process and to ensure that the franchisee is still a good fit for the Brueggers Bagels system. Licensees should factor this cost into their long-term financial projections and be prepared to pay the fee when the time comes to renew their agreement.
