What This Means (2024 FDD)
I am unable to provide information about the specific requirements for opening a Chocolate Bash franchise according to Section 6.6 of the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. The provided excerpts from the Franchise Agreement do not contain a section numbered 6.6. The excerpts do contain information regarding site selection, pre-opening assistance, and obligations for opening and operating a Chocolate Bash business.
Specifically, the Franchise Agreement states that a franchisee must develop, open, and operate a Chocolate Bash business at the agreed-upon location for the entire term of the agreement. If the location isn't specified on the Summary Page of the agreement, the parties will determine it according to Section 6.1. CB Franchising also provides pre-opening assistance, including location selection advice, standard building plans, system standards, vendor lists, pre-opening training for the Principal Executive and up to two employees, and guidance on a market introduction plan. Additionally, CB Franchising provides on-site opening assistance with at least 3 days of training and support.
To fully understand the requirements for opening a Chocolate Bash franchise, a prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor for a complete copy of the Franchise Agreement, including all attachments and addenda. They should specifically request clarification on what constitutes Section 6.6 and what specific obligations and procedures are outlined in that section regarding the opening of the franchise location.
