Under what conditions are restaurants allowed to advertise in Coffee News?

According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, restaurants generally cannot advertise in the regular weekly editions of the print version. However, there are two exceptions to this rule. First, restaurants are permitted to advertise in seasonal editions during the high season. Second, restaurants can advertise in the online versions of Coffee News.

This policy is designed to ensure a variety of advertisers in each edition and to prevent any single industry from dominating the advertising space. By limiting restaurant advertising in the print editions, Coffee News aims to provide a balanced advertising platform for various businesses, increasing the publication's appeal to a broader range of advertisers.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that while you cannot solicit restaurant advertising for the regular weekly print editions, you can offer them advertising opportunities during seasonal promotions or through the online version of Coffee News. This provides flexibility in your sales approach and allows you to cater to the advertising needs of restaurants during specific times of the year or through digital channels.
