Burros_Fries Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
Your own efforts, skills and experience are necessary, but not a guarantee, for you to succeed. There can be no guarantee of your success, as there exist both typical and special business risk factors. These include changing market conditions, competition, cost of food and supplies, equipment, real estate market, capital, labor, your own health, continuity of your management, continuation of sources of supply, availability of financing, recession or depression locally or nationally, wars, strikes, acts of terrorism, emergencies whether natural or manmade, litigation, liability and casualty losses.
Other risks that may affect your Business include but are not limited to industry developments, changes in consumer taste, pricing policies of your competitors, state licensing, supply and demand. Another risk to mentionis your dependence on key personnel, the loss of whom could have an adverse effect on your Business. The purchase of a franchise is a speculative, and a significant investment beyond that outlined in this Disclosure Document may be required to succeed. There are no guarantees for success and the most important factors in the success of any franchise, including yours, are your personal business, marketing, management, judgment, other skills and your willingness and commitment to work hard and diligently in your Business and incorporating our System.
