What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave Cookies' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Table 1, "Systemwide Outlet Summary For Years 2021 to 2024," includes a column labeled "Termi- Nations." This column tracks the number of franchise terminations that occurred each year in each state.
For a prospective Crave Cookies franchisee, this table provides insight into the stability and health of the franchise system. A high number of terminations could indicate issues with the franchise model, franchisee support, or overall profitability. Conversely, a low number of terminations suggests a stable and well-managed system.
However, the table itself does not specify the reasons why terminations occurred. Terminations could result from a variety of factors, such as franchisees failing to meet performance standards, violating the franchise agreement, or choosing to leave the system for personal reasons. To understand the specific causes of any terminations, a prospective franchisee should review the franchise agreement itself and speak with current and former franchisees to gather more detailed information. Additionally, the table includes columns for "Non-Rene wals" and "Ceased Operations – Other Reasons," which, while not terminations, also indicate outlets that have stopped operating under the Crave Cookies brand.
