How is the 'Scheduled Opening Date' determined for a Cordova franchise?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term "Actual Opening Date" is defined for a Cordova franchise as the date the franchisee first advertises, offers, and/or provides services to the public concerning the Franchised Business. However, the FDD does not provide information on how the 'Scheduled Opening Date' is determined.

Since the FDD does not specify how the 'Scheduled Opening Date' is determined, prospective Cordova franchisees should seek clarification from the franchisor. Understanding the process and criteria used to establish this date is crucial for planning and launching the franchise effectively.

Specifically, franchisees should inquire about the factors that influence the scheduling of the opening date, such as training timelines, site preparation, and any dependencies on the franchisor's support or approvals. This information will help franchisees align their resources and efforts to meet the agreed-upon opening timeline.
