What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crave acknowledges that franchise agreements may vary between franchisees. Specifically, Crave states that they have and will continue to enter into agreements with other franchisees that may include different provisions, conditions, and obligations than those in a franchisee's individual agreement.
This acknowledgement means that prospective Crave franchisees should not assume that all franchisees have identical terms. Some franchisees may have negotiated different royalty rates, protected territories, or other terms that are more or less favorable. The existence of these different agreements does not impact the franchisee's duty to comply with the terms of their specific agreement.
This is a fairly standard disclosure in franchise agreements. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that the terms of their agreement are specific to them and that they should not rely on rumors or assumptions about what other franchisees may or may not have agreed to. It also highlights the importance of carefully reviewing the Franchise Agreement and negotiating terms that are important to the franchisee before signing.
