What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the build-out of the franchise location should begin approximately 4 to 6 months before the store is scheduled to open. Burneys Sweets More offers guidance to franchisees during this process.
This timeline is important for prospective franchisees to consider, as it dictates the period during which they will need to manage construction and prepare the location for operation. Delays during this phase can push back the opening date, impacting revenue projections and potentially incurring additional costs.
It is also important to note that while Burneys Sweets More provides guidance, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for managing the build-out. This includes ensuring the space conforms to local ordinances and building codes, as well as obtaining all necessary permits.
