What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buns On Fire's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the typical space for a franchise is expected to be between 1,200 and 3,000 square feet. However, Buns On Fire retains the sole discretion to approve smaller spaces.
This flexibility could be beneficial for prospective franchisees who may have difficulty securing a space within the initially suggested size range. It allows for adaptation to different market conditions or available real estate options. However, the FDD does not specify the criteria Buns On Fire will use to determine when a smaller space is acceptable.
Therefore, it is important for potential franchisees to discuss with Buns On Fire what specific factors or circumstances might warrant approval for a smaller location. Understanding these conditions is crucial for making informed decisions about site selection and investment.
