For how long after the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement must a Crave franchisee maintain governmental or trade association inspection reports for inspection?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must maintain governmental or trade association inspection reports affecting the Franchised Business or equipment for inspection during the term of the Franchise Agreement and for thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.

This means that after the franchise agreement ends, whether through normal expiration or early termination, the franchisee is obligated to keep these inspection reports accessible for Crave's review for a period of 30 days. This requirement allows Crave to ensure compliance with regulations and standards even after the franchisee has ceased operations.

For a prospective Crave franchisee, this implies a need to maintain organized records of all governmental and trade association inspections. These records must be readily available not only during the active term of the franchise agreement but also for a short period following its conclusion. This is a relatively short retention period compared to other franchise systems, where record-keeping requirements can extend for much longer durations after termination.
