Which articles in the Crave Franchise Agreement cover maintenance, appearance, and remodeling requirements?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisee obligations related to maintenance, appearance, and remodeling requirements are addressed in Articles 2, 7, and 14 of the Franchise Agreement. These obligations are further detailed in Items 6 and 11 of the disclosure document. This indicates that Crave places significant importance on maintaining brand standards and the physical condition of its franchise locations.

Specifically, Article 7.3 addresses remodeling and redecorating. It states that Crave can require franchisees to upgrade, remodel, or redecorate their premises, equipment, signs, and décor to meet system-wide standards. However, Crave agrees that these requests will not occur more frequently than every five years, with an exception if the franchise is transferred, in which case the new franchisee may be required to remodel sooner.

Furthermore, franchisees are obligated to maintain and repair their food trucks, ensuring they remain in good working order and condition. This includes regular servicing according to warranty and manufacturer guidelines. Franchisees must also maintain the exterior of the food truck in a clean and good appearance and provide Crave with copies of all maintenance and repair records upon request. These stipulations ensure that Crave maintains a consistent brand image and operational standard across all franchise locations and mobile units.
