Can a Crepe De Licious franchisee use the Marks in advertising for the sale of the franchise?

According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using the Marks in any advertising related to the transfer, sale, or other disposition of the Crepe De Licious Business, or any interest in the Franchise. This restriction ensures that Crepe De Licious maintains control over its brand image and representation during franchise resales.

This restriction is typical in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure consistent brand messaging and avoid any misrepresentation during the sale of a franchise. By prohibiting the use of the Marks in advertising for franchise sales, Crepe De Licious can control how the business is presented to potential buyers and ensure that the brand's reputation is not compromised.

Prospective franchisees should be aware of this limitation, as it means they cannot use the Crepe De Licious brand or logos when advertising their franchise for sale. They must rely on other methods to attract potential buyers, such as business brokers or listings that do not prominently feature the brand's trademarks. This restriction is in place to protect the integrity of the Crepe De Licious brand and maintain uniformity across all franchise locations.
