What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Coffee News Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to purchase stands from Coffee News USA or its preferred vendor for approximately $5.75 each, including shipping and handling; the base cost of each stand is $5.25. However, franchisees are not obligated to purchase stands from Coffee News.
If a franchisee chooses to purchase stands from another source, Coffee News will provide labels for those stands. The FDD specifies that Coffee News will charge a nominal fee for these labels.
This policy provides flexibility for Coffee News franchisees, allowing them to source stands that meet their specific needs or budget. However, it's important to note that while franchisees can purchase stands elsewhere, they must still adhere to Coffee News's branding and presentation standards, which the labels help ensure. Franchisees should clarify the nominal cost for labels with Coffee News to factor this expense into their budget if they plan to purchase stands from an alternative vendor.
