What specific information must be included in the 'continuing archive' of Coffee News periodicals that the franchisee provides to the franchisor?

Based on the 2025 Coffee News Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to provide an updated list of outlets distributed through and the number of copies of the periodical distributed in the franchisee's region to the Franchisor every six months.

This obligation ensures that Coffee News, as the franchisor, maintains an understanding of the distribution network's scope and effectiveness. By knowing the number of outlets and periodical copies distributed, Coffee News can assess market penetration and identify potential areas for growth or improvement.

For a prospective franchisee, this means maintaining accurate records of distribution points and the quantity of Coffee News periodicals at each location. This task requires diligence and organization to comply with the reporting requirement. The franchisee should establish a system for tracking and updating this information to ensure timely and accurate submissions to the franchisor every six months. This also allows the franchisee to optimize their distribution strategy and potentially increase advertising revenue by ensuring adequate coverage within their territory.
