Is the initial franchise fee for Endless Summer Sweets uniform?

Based on the 2024 Endless Summer Sweets FDD, the initial franchise fee is determined upon execution of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement (MUDA). The FDD states that the franchisee must pay the total initial franchise fees to the franchisor when the MUDA is executed, and these fees are non-refundable.

For the first location, the franchisee and franchisor execute the Franchise Agreement simultaneously with the MUDA. For each additional franchise, the franchisee will execute the franchisor's then-current standard form of franchise agreement no later than three business days after leasing or acquiring a location. The MUDA does not grant the franchisee the right to construct, open, or operate an Endless Summer Sweets business; each location requires a separate franchise agreement executed pursuant to the MUDA.

While the FDD specifies that the initial franchise fees are paid upon execution of the MUDA, it does not explicitly state whether the initial franchise fee is uniform across all franchisees or if it varies based on factors such as territory size or other considerations. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Endless Summer Sweets Franchising, Inc. whether the initial franchise fee is uniform or if there are circumstances that could cause it to vary.
