Before starting construction or remodeling, what approval must a Crave Cookies franchisee obtain?

According to Crave Cookies's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain Crave Cookies Franchising's approval of their plans before beginning any construction or remodeling work. This requirement ensures that the location conforms to Crave Cookies's System Standards.

This approval process is a standard practice in franchising, allowing Crave Cookies to maintain uniformity and brand consistency across all locations. Franchisees should factor in the time required for plan submission, review, and approval into their project timelines to avoid delays in opening or remodeling their Crave Cookies business.

Crave Cookies may also require franchisees to submit plans for approval before commencing a required remodel. This ensures that any changes made to the location align with the brand's current standards and image. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Crave Cookies Franchising throughout the construction and remodeling process to address any concerns or modifications that may arise.
