How many consecutive days of ceasing operation of the Crave Cookies business constitutes abandonment?

According to Crave Cookies's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee abandons or ceases operation of the business for more than five consecutive days, Crave Cookies Franchising can terminate the franchise agreement without providing an opportunity to cure the breach.

This means that a Crave Cookies franchisee must maintain continuous operation of their business. Any closure exceeding five consecutive days is considered a serious breach of the franchise agreement.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of having contingency plans for potential disruptions to the business, such as equipment failures, supply chain issues, or staffing shortages. Failing to maintain operations could lead to termination of the franchise and potential financial repercussions, as outlined elsewhere in the FDD regarding liquidated damages upon termination.
