What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chocolate Bash will provide a set of standard building plans and specifications, along with recommended floor plans and specifications for required décor to franchisees.
However, Chocolate Bash is not obligated to assist franchisees in conforming the premises of their site to local ordinances and building codes or obtaining any required permits. This responsibility falls solely on the franchisee. This means that franchisees will need to manage the process of ensuring their Chocolate Bash location meets all local regulations and secure the necessary approvals themselves.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review these standard building plans and specifications to understand the potential costs and time involved in preparing their location. They should also factor in the costs of any necessary modifications to meet local building codes and the expense of obtaining required permits, as these are not covered by Chocolate Bash.
