For Crisp & Green, in which states should I refer to a separate FDD to determine the effective date?

According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees in California, Maryland, New York, and Washington should refer to a separate FDD to determine the effective date. This is because franchise disclosure and registration requirements vary significantly by state.

The FDD provides a table listing states that require registration or filing of the Franchise Disclosure Document, along with their effective dates. However, for the states listed above, the table indicates "See Separate FDD" instead of a specific date. This suggests that Crisp & Green may have specific addenda or versions of the FDD tailored to those states due to unique legal requirements or updates.

For a potential Crisp & Green franchisee, this means that the general FDD may not contain all the necessary information for those particular states. To ensure full compliance and understanding of the franchise regulations, it's crucial to obtain and review the state-specific FDD for California, Maryland, New York, and Washington. This will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information relevant to operating a Crisp & Green franchise in those locations.
