What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees must complete a Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to ensure that the prospective franchisee has not received any unauthorized or misleading information during the franchise sales process.
One of the questions in the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire asks whether the prospective franchisee has discussed the benefits and risks of developing and operating a Cinnaholic franchise with an existing franchisee. The franchisee must answer "yes" or "no" to this question. If the prospective franchisee answers "no" to any of the questions on the questionnaire, they must provide an explanation on the back of the sheet.
The questionnaire must be signed and dated the same day the Development Agreement and/or Franchise Agreement are signed and the development and/or franchise fee is paid. However, it cannot be signed or dated on the same day as the Receipt for the Franchise Disclosure Document.
