What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor's approval is required for the franchisee's site selection. The franchise agreement grants the franchisee a license to operate a Crepe De Licious restaurant, kiosk, or food truck at a specific, approved location. This location is formally recognized as the "Approved Location" and is detailed in Attachment A of the franchise agreement.
Attachment A outlines the specifics of the approved location and its territory. If a site has been selected and approved when the agreement is signed, it is listed in Attachment A-1. However, if a site hasn't been chosen yet, Attachment A will provide a general description of the location. It is important to note that this general description does not grant any territorial rights and is only for reference, meaning Crepe De Licious can sell other franchises in that area.
After Crepe De Licious approves a location, the specifics are added to Attachment A-1, including the territory. The territory is determined by the location of the restaurant, kiosk, or food truck. If the franchisee does not agree with the territory offered, they can select another site, which will then have a new territory assigned to it. This process ensures that the franchisee has an approved location before commencing operations.
