What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the weekly fee for the initial hardcopy franchise is $80. This fee begins on the first day of the third month following the month the initial franchise agreement was signed, essentially the fourth month of the agreement.
For a Coffee News franchisee, this means that the weekly payments do not start immediately upon signing the franchise agreement, allowing some time to begin operations. The $80 weekly fee is a recurring operational cost that franchisees must factor into their financial planning.
The FDD specifies that the weekly fee can be paid via credit card, debit card, check, or PayPal. This provides franchisees with multiple options to remit payment, offering flexibility and convenience. It is important to note that all fees are imposed and collected by Coffee News and are non-refundable and uniformly applied.
