What rights does Cinnaholic Franchising, LLC retain if it assigns its rights in the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, if Cinnaholic Franchising, LLC assigns its rights in the Franchise Agreement, it is not required to remain in the Cinnaholic business or to offer or sell any products or services to the franchisee. This means that Cinnaholic can transfer its obligations and rights under the agreement to another party, and after doing so, it has no further obligation to support the franchisee's business.

This provision has significant implications for prospective franchisees. If Cinnaholic assigns the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee will be dealing with a new franchisor who may have different priorities or business practices. The franchisee cannot rely on Cinnaholic to continue providing the support, products, or services that were initially promised. This could potentially disrupt the franchisee's business operations and profitability.

Franchisees should carefully consider this clause and its potential impact before investing in a Cinnaholic franchise. It is important to evaluate the financial stability and long-term commitment of Cinnaholic to the franchise system. Additionally, franchisees may want to seek legal advice to understand their rights and options in the event that Cinnaholic assigns the Franchise Agreement to a less capable or supportive entity. This is not an uncommon clause in franchise agreements, but it underscores the importance of due diligence when selecting a franchise.
