What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crave does not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance, nor does it provide information about the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. This is a common practice among franchisors, as guaranteeing financial success can be misleading due to varying market conditions and individual franchisee capabilities. Crave also does not authorize its employees or representatives to make any financial performance representations, either orally or in writing.
However, if a prospective franchisee is purchasing an existing Crave outlet, Crave may provide the actual records of that specific outlet. This allows the potential franchisee to review the financial history of that particular location.
The FDD advises that if a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections of future income, they should report it to Crave's management by contacting Samantha Rincione at 159 N. Wolcott St. Suite 133 Casper, WY 82601, and (516)316-7420, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This is to ensure that franchisees are not relying on unauthorized or unsubstantiated financial claims when making their investment decision.
