Are the landlord and Crave Cookies authorized to communicate directly with each other about the tenant's business?

According to Crave Cookies' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically the Rider to Lease Agreement, the tenant (franchisee) authorizes the landlord and Crave Cookies to communicate directly with each other regarding the tenant's business. This authorization is part of the agreement between the landlord, tenant, and Crave Cookies.

This provision allows Crave Cookies to stay informed about the franchisee's business operations and lease status. It also enables the landlord to communicate directly with Crave Cookies about any issues or concerns related to the tenant's business or the leased premises. This direct line of communication can be beneficial for resolving disputes, addressing lease violations, and ensuring the smooth operation of the Crave Cookies franchise.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that Crave Cookies will have access to information about their business and lease agreement through direct communication with the landlord. While this can be helpful in resolving issues and ensuring compliance, franchisees should be aware that their business operations and lease status will be transparent to Crave Cookies. Franchisees should consider the implications of this direct communication and how it might affect their relationship with both the landlord and the franchisor.
