On January 1, 2022, we entered into a similar type agreement with Shadow Fox Consulting. Coffee News® online will retain many of the same features as the hard copy format used worldwide, but with enhanced features, making Coffee News® more accessible to readers, offering greater marketing opportunities, and generating additional advertising revenue from existing advertisers as well as restaurants at a modest cost. To enroll in the Coffee News Online feature, there are currently two (2) options: Basic and Premium, as outlined in Section 4 of the Coffee News Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Coffee News Online offers marketing opportunities and generates additional advertising revenue from existing advertisers as well as restaurants at a modest cost. The document specifies that restaurants are generally not allowed to advertise except in seasonal editions during the high season, or in the online versions. To enroll in the Coffee News Online feature, there are currently two options: Basic and Premium, as outlined in Section 4 of the Coffee News Franchise Agreement.
For a prospective Coffee News franchisee, this means that Coffee News Online can be a source of revenue from advertisers and restaurants. Restaurants are generally restricted from advertising in the print version, except during peak seasons, making the online platform a valuable advertising avenue for them.
However, the FDD does not specify the exact costs for advertisers or restaurants to utilize Coffee News Online. Franchisees should refer to Section 4 of the Coffee News Franchise Agreement for details on the Basic and Premium online options. It is important for potential franchisees to inquire about the specific pricing structure and any associated fees for advertisers and restaurants to fully understand the revenue potential and operational costs of the online platform.
