What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire does address whether the franchisee has personally reviewed the Disclosure Document. Specifically, the questionnaire asks, "Have you received and personally reviewed our Disclosure Document we provided to you?" with a 'Yes' or 'No' response option.
Additionally, the questionnaire asks, "Have you received and personally reviewed the CITY PUBLICATIONS FRANCHISE GROUP, INC. Franchise Agreement and each exhibit attached to it?" with a 'Yes' or 'No' response option. It also asks, "Do you understand all of the information contained in the Franchise Agreement and each exhibit attached to it?" and "Do you understand all of the information contained in the Disclosure Document?", again with 'Yes' or 'No' options. If the franchisee answers 'No' to either of these questions, they are prompted to explain what parts of the Franchise Agreement or Disclosure Document they do not understand.
This questionnaire serves as a way for City Publications to confirm that the franchisee has had the opportunity to review all critical documents and understand their contents before entering into the franchise agreement. It also allows the franchisee to highlight any areas of confusion or concern, which can be addressed before signing the agreement. This process aims to ensure that franchisees are making informed decisions and are aware of the obligations and responsibilities they are undertaking.
