As of this Christian Brothers Automotive FDD, what is the effective date for the franchise in Michigan?

Based on the 2025 Christian Brothers Automotive Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific effective date of the franchise agreement in Michigan is not provided in the excerpts. The franchise agreement included in the FDD has a version date of 04-14-2025, but this is not necessarily the effective date for any particular franchise location.

Item 23 includes receipts and agreements that require the franchisee and franchisor to fill in blanks for property and franchisee names, suggesting that the agreement is a template. The agreement refers to an "Effective Date" that marks the beginning of the agreement's term, but this date is not pre-filled in the sample documents.

A prospective Christian Brothers Automotive franchisee in Michigan should ask the franchisor directly for the specific effective date that would apply to their franchise agreement. This date is critical as it marks the commencement of the franchise term and other obligations.
