If a transfer is granted by Coffee News, what agreement must the transferee franchisee execute?

According to the 2025 Coffee News Franchise Disclosure Document, if a transfer of a franchise is approved, the new franchisee (transferee) must sign Coffee News's current Franchise Agreement and any related documents. This new agreement will govern the remaining term of the original agreement.

This requirement ensures that all franchisees operate under the same current standards and legal terms set by Coffee News. It protects the consistency and uniformity of the Coffee News brand. The new franchisee is bound by the most up-to-date obligations and guidelines.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they plan to buy an existing Coffee News franchise, they should be prepared to enter into a new agreement with terms that may differ from the original franchisee's agreement. It is important to carefully review the current Franchise Agreement before completing the transfer to understand the obligations and responsibilities they will be undertaking.
