What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crowne Plaza Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of 'Fountain Syrup' specifically excludes certain types of concentrates. While 'Fountain Syrup' refers to the syrup used to prepare fountain beverages, it does not encompass Frozen Fountain Syrup.
Additionally, the definition excludes other forms of concentrate, such as frozen concentrates used to prepare juices. It also excludes liquid coffee concentrate from the definition of 'Fountain Syrup'.
For a prospective Crowne Plaza franchisee, this distinction is important for understanding what products are covered under agreements related to fountain beverages and syrups, and what additional agreements or sourcing might be needed for excluded items like juices or coffee concentrates.
