What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to publish a digital version of the periodical, known as "Coffee News Online." To participate in publishing Coffee News Online, a one-time enrollment fee of $100.00 is paid to Chil Consulting and $75.00 to Shadowfox Design upon enrollment.

This fee structure indicates that Coffee News utilizes third-party contractors for its online services. Chil Consulting and Shadowfox Design are the current contractors that provide Coffee News Online services. The franchisee is responsible for uploading all advertisements and "What's Happening" events content into the online feature system.

It's important to note that enrollment in the Coffee News Online feature must be done through Coffee News, unless otherwise agreed in writing. This suggests that franchisees cannot directly engage with Chil Consulting or Shadowfox Design for enrollment purposes. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Coffee News the specific services provided by each contractor and any potential changes to these third-party relationships.
