Is Chocolate Bash required to provide written notice when revoking supplier approval?

According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chocolate Bash may revoke past approvals of suppliers, and they must provide written notice to franchisees when they do so. Specifically, Chocolate Bash can revoke supplier approvals by providing written notice or by updating their manual.

This means that as a Chocolate Bash franchisee, you are subject to using only approved suppliers. Chocolate Bash retains the right to change these approved suppliers, and they will notify you of these changes in writing or by updating the manual. It is important to stay up-to-date with any changes to the manual to ensure you are using only approved suppliers.

Many franchise systems maintain control over their supply chain to ensure quality and consistency. The Chocolate Bash franchise agreement allows them to ensure franchisees are purchasing goods from suppliers that meet their standards. While franchisees can request approval for alternative suppliers, Chocolate Bash has the final say on which suppliers are approved. This helps maintain brand standards across all Chocolate Bash locations.
