What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Coffee News Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to publish a digital version of the periodical, known as "Coffee News Online." To enroll in this online publication, a one-time fee is required. This fee is paid to third-party contractors, specifically $100.00 to Chil Consulting and $75.00 to Shadowfox Design.
This enrollment fee is a one-time cost, meaning franchisees only pay it upon initial enrollment to publish Coffee News Online. This fee is separate from other fees, such as weekly fees for both the hardcopy periodical and the online service, and postponement fees should a franchisee delay their business start date.
Prospective franchisees should consider this enrollment fee as part of their initial investment if they plan to offer the digital version of Coffee News. It is important to note that the franchisee is responsible for uploading all advertisements and "What's Happening" events content into the online system. Franchisees should also be aware that all services related to Coffee News Online are provided by a third-party contractor hired by Coffee News.
