As of what date is the Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document effective in Florida?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit K, titled "STATE EFFECTIVE DATES," indicates the states that require franchise laws to register or file the Franchise Disclosure Document. These states include California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The document further states that it is effective and may be used in states where it is filed, registered, or exempt from registration, as of the Effective Date stated below. However, the excerpt does not specify the effective date for Florida or any other specific state.

For a prospective Cinnaholic franchisee in Florida, this means the FDD excerpt does not provide the exact date the document became effective in their state. This information is crucial because franchisees can only make informed decisions based on an effective and up-to-date FDD. The absence of this date could delay the franchise process or create uncertainty about the legal compliance of the franchise offering in Florida.

Therefore, a potential Cinnaholic franchisee should directly ask the franchisor for the specific effective date of the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document in Florida. This ensures they have the legally required waiting period to review the document and make an informed decision. Additionally, they may want to consult with a franchise attorney to confirm the FDD's compliance with Florida franchise laws.
