What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave Cookies' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, information on non-renewals is presented in Table 3, titled "Status of Franchised Outlets For Years 2021 to 2024." This table provides a state-by-state breakdown of outlet activity, including a specific column for "Non-Renewals." This allows prospective franchisees to see if any existing franchisees have chosen not to renew their agreements in past years, offering insight into franchisee satisfaction and the long-term viability of Crave Cookies franchises.
The table shows the number of non-renewals alongside other key data points such as outlets opened, terminations, and re acquisitions by the franchisor. By examining this table, potential franchisees can assess the stability and turnover rate of Crave Cookies franchises in different states. A high number of non-renewals in a particular state might warrant further investigation to understand the reasons behind it, such as market conditions or franchisee profitability.
In addition to Table 3, Exhibit H provides a list of former franchisees, including those who had outlets that were not renewed. This exhibit includes the franchisee's name, city, state, and contact information (if available). While the table gives a quantitative overview, Exhibit H allows prospective franchisees to directly contact former franchisees to learn more about their experiences and reasons for not renewing their franchise agreements. This combination of quantitative data and direct contact information offers a comprehensive view of franchise non-renewals within the Crave Cookies system.
