What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each online edition of Coffee News must provide several key features as part of the basic service. These include the layout of current content, submitted advertisements, and a listing of "What's Happening" events, all dated and posted for each Monday. This layout is provided to franchisees, who then send it to their contacts each week.
Additionally, each online Coffee News publication must have a dedicated URL. All online editions are accessible through a dropdown menu on the main Coffee News website. The online edition must also provide up to 40 ad spaces for single ads (400 x 300 pixels) from various industries, including restaurants. Double ad spaces (400 x 600 pixels) are also available and count as two ads. All ads rotate on a weekly basis.
Furthermore, these ads must be mobile responsive and clickable, linking directly to the advertiser's web, email, or phone contact information. Each week's online edition also includes one sponsorship ad. Finally, the Coffee News man is hidden in one of the ads each week, and clicking on him leads to a contest entry form as part of the Coffee News Contest.
