What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, addenda are included for franchisees in certain states to address specific state laws. For example, there are addenda for California, Maryland, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Washington. These addenda modify the franchise agreement to ensure compliance with those states' franchise laws.
Specifically, the addenda to the Brueggers Bagels franchise agreement, license agreement, or development agreement will only take effect if the agreement and the relationship between the franchisee and Brueggers Bagels satisfy all the jurisdictional requirements of the relevant state's franchise law. This determination is made without considering the addendum itself. In other words, the underlying agreement must already meet the state's legal requirements for the addendum to become active.
This condition ensures that the addendum is only applied when the franchise relationship falls under the jurisdiction of the specific state's franchise laws. This protects both the franchisee and Brueggers Bagels by clarifying which laws govern their relationship and ensuring compliance with those laws. Franchisees should carefully review the addendum applicable to their state, if any, and understand the specific modifications it makes to the standard franchise agreement.
