What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does specify the location of the franchised unit. The agreement grants a license to operate a Crepe De Licious business at a specific 'Approved Location,' which is detailed in Attachment A of the franchise agreement. This location can be a Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck. If the specific site hasn't been approved when the agreement is signed, Attachment A will describe the location in general terms.
Attachment A-1 to the franchise agreement is used to specify the Approved Location and Territory if a particular site has been selected and approved at the time of signing. If not, Section 3 of Attachment A will describe the location in general terms, but this general description doesn't grant any territory rights and is only for reference. After Crepe De Licious approves a location, they will complete Attachment A-1 with the Approved Location and Territory details. The territory is dependent on the location, and the franchisee can choose another site if they don't accept the presented territory.
The Crepe De Licious franchise agreement also stipulates that the Restaurant or Kiosk must be located at the Approved Location, and the Food Truck must always be located within the Territory. This ensures that the franchisee operates within the bounds agreed upon and that Crepe De Licious maintains control over its brand and market distribution. The franchise is limited to a single Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck at the Approved Location.
