Is there a deadline for Chop5 Salad Kitchen to notify me of the specific items they wish to purchase?

According to the 2024 Chop5 Salad Kitchen FDD, Chop5 Salad Kitchen may negotiate purchase agreements with suppliers to obtain discounted prices for franchisees. However, the FDD does not specify a deadline for Chop5 Salad Kitchen to notify franchisees of the specific items they wish to purchase under these agreements.

As the FDD does not state that Chop5 Salad Kitchen is obligated to negotiate these purchase agreements, this could mean that franchisees may need to source their own supplies and negotiate their own prices if Chop5 Salad Kitchen does not establish these agreements.

A prospective franchisee should clarify with Chop5 Salad Kitchen whether these purchase agreements are typically established, what types of items are covered, and how much advance notice franchisees receive regarding items available for purchase through these agreements.
