For which states must I refer to the state-specific Crepe De Licious FDD to determine the effective date?

According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the effective date for the franchise agreement is state-specific in certain states. This means that the standard Crepe De Licious FDD may not contain all the necessary information to determine the agreement's effective date in those locations.

Specifically, if you are considering opening a Crepe De Licious franchise in California, Illinois, Maryland, or New York, you must refer to the state-specific FDD for that state to determine the effective date of the franchise agreement. This is because these states have franchise laws that require modifications or additional information to be included in the franchise disclosure document.

For a potential franchisee, this means it is crucial to obtain and review the correct state-specific FDD to understand the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement fully. The effective date is a critical element of the agreement, as it marks the beginning of the franchise relationship and triggers various obligations and deadlines. Failing to consult the correct FDD could lead to misunderstandings or non-compliance with state laws.
