Crepe_De_Licious Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The Food Truck must always operate within the Territory. We reserve the right to limit specific Sites for the Food Truck to Operate within the Territory at our sole discretion.
Our site selection criteria and our approval of a site do not constitute a representation or warranty as to the suitability of any particular site for a Restaurant, Kiosk, Food Truck or as to any other purpose. Our approval only indicates that we believe that the site falls within our minimum site selection criteria.
We will consult with you on our current site selection guidelines and provide other site selection counseling, as we deem advisable. The factors we consider in approving sites include location, size, suitability, and other factors that may be relevant to your market. Typically, Crepe de licious Businesses are located in busy malls and outside the food court in a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Although we will consult with you on your site and require your site be subject to our final authorization, you have the ultimate responsibility in choosing, obtaining, and developing the site for your Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Crepe De Licious Food Truck must always operate within the territory granted to the franchisee. However, Crepe De Licious retains the right to limit the specific sites where the Food Truck can operate within that territory, using its sole discretion.
While Crepe De Licious will consult with franchisees regarding site selection, providing guidelines and counseling, the final responsibility for choosing, obtaining, and developing the site rests with the franchisee. Crepe De Licious's approval of a site indicates only that it meets the minimum criteria, and does not guarantee the site's suitability or success.
This means that while a franchisee has a designated territory, Crepe De Licious has significant control over the actual location of the food truck within that territory. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider these limitations and discuss site selection criteria with Crepe De Licious to fully understand the potential restrictions and obligations.
