What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has six months to complete required modifications to their Franchised Business after receiving notice from Crave. This timeframe applies when a franchisee is seeking to renew their franchise agreement for a successor term.
Specifically, after Crave receives the executed Successor Franchise Documents and the successor agreement fee from the franchisee, Crave will inspect the Franchised Business. This inspection is to determine what updating, remodeling, redecorating, or refurbishment is needed to meet Crave's current image and standards for new outlets. Following the inspection, Crave will provide the franchisee with a notice detailing the required modifications.
The franchisee then has a six-month window from the date of that notice to complete all the required changes. Failure to complete these modifications within the specified timeframe gives Crave the right to terminate the Successor Franchise Documents, which would prevent the franchisee from renewing their franchise agreement.
