What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to pay a non-refundable Design Fee. This fee ranges from $5,000 to $10,000. Crepe De Licious will use this fee to provide restaurant design preparation services for the franchisee's Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck, at their discretion.
The Design Fee is paid when the franchisee orders the designs, which must occur before the Crepe De Licious business opens. The actual amount of the fee will vary based on the size and complexity of the design required for the specific location and business format.
It is important to note that while Crepe De Licious has the right to charge this fee, they did not collect any Design Fees from franchisees in 2023. This does not guarantee that the fee will not be charged in the future, but it does provide some historical context. A prospective franchisee should confirm with Crepe De Licious whether this fee is currently being charged and what factors might influence the specific amount charged for their location.
