Has any state refused, by order or otherwise, to register the Crave Cookies franchises?

According to Crave Cookies' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as of the date of filing the addendum in Hawaii, no states have refused, by order or otherwise, to register these franchises. The document also states that no states have revoked or suspended the right to offer these franchises, and the proposed registration of these franchises has not been withdrawn in any state.

However, the FDD also indicates that certain states require franchise registration or filing. Specifically, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin have franchise laws that require the Franchise Disclosure Document to be registered or filed with the states, or be exempt from registration.

It is important for a prospective Crave Cookies franchisee to understand the franchise registration and filing requirements in their specific state. While no state has refused registration as of the FDD's filing date in Hawaii, franchisees must ensure compliance with all applicable state laws and regulations regarding franchise offerings.
