Does the Crave Cookies franchise agreement allow franchisees and their owners to violate any existing agreements?

According to the 2025 Crave Cookies Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does not allow franchisees or their owners to violate existing agreements. In fact, the agreement outlines specific scenarios where a breach of other agreements can lead to termination of the Crave Cookies franchise agreement. Specifically, if Crave Cookies Franchising terminates another agreement with the franchisee (or an affiliate) due to a breach of that agreement by the franchisee (or its affiliate), it can be grounds for terminating the Crave Cookies franchise agreement. However, the termination of a Multi-Unit Development Agreement with the franchisee or its affiliate does not give Crave Cookies Franchising the right to terminate the franchise agreement.

This provision protects Crave Cookies by ensuring franchisees and their owners adhere to all contractual obligations, not just the franchise agreement. It also motivates franchisees to uphold all agreements with Crave Cookies Franchising or its affiliates, as failure to do so could jeopardize their franchise.

It is important to note the exception for Multi-Unit Development Agreements, which suggests these agreements have separate remedies for termination that do not automatically trigger termination of the standard franchise agreement. Prospective franchisees should carefully review all related agreements to understand the full scope of their contractual obligations and the potential consequences of breaching those agreements.
