What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must open their Craters & Freighters business to the public within 90 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to do so gives Craters & Freighters the right to terminate the agreement without prior notice. This is considered an incurable breach of the agreement.
This requirement sets a clear expectation for franchisees to promptly establish and begin operating their business. The 90-day timeframe includes securing a location, completing necessary build-out or modifications, obtaining required permits and licenses, purchasing equipment and supplies, hiring staff, and completing the initial training program.
This clause protects Craters & Freighters by ensuring franchisees are committed to launching their business quickly and adhering to the agreed-upon timeline. It also prevents franchisees from delaying the opening of their business indefinitely, which could negatively impact the brand's reputation and market presence. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this deadline and ensure they have a realistic plan to meet it before signing the Franchise Agreement.
