What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise is granted for operation at a specific, approved location, and its use is strictly limited. The franchisee must operate a Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck in strict accordance with the franchise agreement and the System Standards provided in writing by Crepe De Licious.
Specifically, franchisees are prohibited from using the System, Marks, or the physical premises of the Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck for any business, activities, or unapproved items or services other than the Crepe De Licious franchised business. The franchise is limited to operating under the trade name "Crepe de licious" or another name expressly authorized by the franchisor in writing. Franchisees cannot adopt alternative or additional trade names without prior written consent from Crepe De Licious.
This means a Crepe De Licious franchisee cannot operate any other type of business from the approved location, sell unapproved products or services, or use a different trade name without explicit permission. This ensures uniformity and protects the Crepe De Licious brand. The franchisee must adhere to all System Standards, which include specifications, policies, rules, techniques, and procedures related to the operation of the Crepe De Licious business.
