What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Area Development Agreement (ADA) uses the date code "ADA 2025". This code appears on Exhibit B to the Area Development Agreement, which outlines the development schedule, and on Exhibit A, which describes the development area. The date code is located near the signature lines for both the Franchisor and the Developer. This date code likely serves to identify the specific version of the Area Development Agreement and confirm that the document aligns with the 2025 franchise offering. Prospective Buona developers should verify that all documents, including the ADA, display this code to ensure they are reviewing the most current and applicable agreement.
