According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Continued Operation After Expiration fee is due monthly. This fee applies if Burneys Sweets More permits a franchisee to continue operating the franchised business on a month-to-month basis after the Franchise Agreement expires.
The amount of the Continued Operation After Expiration fee is the greater of $1,000 per month or 150% of the royalties due for the same month. This fee is in addition to all royalties and other fees due to Burneys Sweets More.
The franchisee must pay this monthly fee for every month of month-to-month operations. The total amount paid cannot exceed Burneys Sweets More's then-current initial franchise fee.
