What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Corner Bakery Cafe's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the renewal fee is 50% of the then-current standard initial franchise fee. This fee is due at the time the franchisee signs the renewal franchise agreement.
Corner Bakery Cafe requires franchisees to pay this renewal fee for each of the two available renewal terms. This means that if a franchisee chooses to renew their agreement, they will be required to pay this fee twice over the course of their franchise tenure, once for each renewal.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that the renewal fee is based on the then-current initial franchise fee, not the fee that was in place when the original franchise agreement was signed. Therefore, the renewal fee could be higher (or lower) than what the franchisee initially paid, depending on how Corner Bakery Cafe's initial franchise fee changes over time. Franchisees should factor in the potential cost of renewal fees when evaluating the overall financial commitment of investing in a Corner Bakery Cafe franchise.
