Is the Approved Location for a Crepe De Licious Food Truck exclusive?

According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the approved location for a food truck is not exclusive. The FDD states that the territory for a Crepe De Licious food truck will be based on zip codes and may be revised at any time at the franchisor's discretion. This means that Crepe De Licious can change the territory assigned to a food truck franchisee during the term of the Franchise Agreement.

This lack of exclusivity means that Crepe De Licious franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, outlets owned by Crepe De Licious, other distribution channels, or competitive brands. The franchisee will not have any rights to be compensated from third-party sales that may occur within their territory. Crepe De Licious and its affiliates retain the right to operate or license others to operate Crepe De Licious Restaurants, Kiosks, and Food Trucks at any location outside the territory, even if it affects the franchisee's operation.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that Crepe De Licious retains significant control over territory decisions and can modify them, potentially impacting the franchisee's business. It is important to understand the factors that Crepe De Licious considers when determining and revising territories, and how these decisions could affect the food truck's operations and profitability. Franchisees should also inquire about any potential limitations or restrictions on their ability to operate within their assigned territory.
