Where must a Burneys Sweets More franchisee post the statement indicating independent ownership?

According to the 2025 Burneys Sweets More Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must post a statement indicating independent ownership in a conspicuous location at the business premises. Additionally, this statement must appear on invoices, purchase orders, marketing materials, and online presences. The required statement is: "This BURNEY'S SWEETS & MORE franchise is independently owned and operated by [Franchisee entity name] under license from DMG BURNEY, INC."

This requirement ensures that customers are aware that the Burneys Sweets More franchise location is independently owned and operated, and not directly owned by the franchisor, DMG BURNEY, INC. This is a common practice in franchising, as it clarifies the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee to the public.

By including the statement on various materials such as invoices, purchase orders, and marketing materials, Burneys Sweets More ensures that the message of independent ownership is consistently communicated across all customer touchpoints. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring this statement is prominently displayed and included on all relevant materials.
