Who is the State Administrator for Ella Cafe franchises in Illinois?

According to Ella Cafe's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the excerpt does not list the State Administrator for Illinois. The document includes a table with the State Administrator for California and Hawaii. For California, the State Administrator is the Commissioner of Business Oversight, Department of Business Oversight, located at 1515 K Street, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95814-4052, with the phone number 866-275-2677. For Hawaii, it is the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Business Registration Division, and Commissioner of Securities.

Since the information for Illinois is not provided in this excerpt, prospective Ella Cafe franchisees should contact the franchisor directly to obtain the name, address, and contact information for the relevant State Administrator in Illinois. This information is crucial for reporting any potential violations of federal or state franchise laws, such as the failure to provide the FDD in a timely manner or if the FDD contains false or misleading statements.

It is common practice for FDDs to include a list of state agencies responsible for franchise regulation, as this ensures transparency and helps franchisees understand their rights and how to report issues. The absence of this information for Illinois in the provided excerpt is a notable omission that potential franchisees should address during their due diligence.
