What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the payment for stands is due to the local vendor as incurred, specifically by the first printing. The estimated cost for stands is $500.00.
This means that as a Coffee News franchisee, you will need to pay for the stands around the time of your first printing. The stands are a necessary expenditure to distribute the Coffee News periodical in local businesses.
Since the payment is made to a local vendor, it is important to establish a relationship with a reliable vendor who can provide the stands in a timely manner to coincide with your printing schedule. The FDD indicates that franchisees have the option to purchase stands locally if they can be purchased at a lower cost than from Coffee News USA.
