Does the Mrcool Franchise Disclosure Document include a copy of the Franchise Agreement?

The 2025 Mrcool Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly state that a full copy of the Franchise Agreement is included within the FDD itself. However, several excerpts imply that the Franchise Agreement is a separate document that prospective franchisees should review carefully.

Specifically, the FDD highlights the importance of reading "all the agreements carefully," suggesting that the Franchise Agreement is provided alongside the FDD. The Hawaii FDD Amendment states that a copy of the disclosure document should be provided together with a copy of all proposed agreements relating to the sale of the franchise. Additionally, the document mentions that it "CONTAINS A SUMMARY ONLY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL PROVISIONS OF THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT and the contract or agreement should be referred to for a statement of all rights, conditions, restrictions and obligations of both the Franchisor and the Franchisee."

While the FDD summarizes key aspects of the Franchise Agreement, it is crucial for potential Mrcool franchisees to obtain and thoroughly review the complete Franchise Agreement. This review should be done in consultation with a qualified legal professional to fully understand the franchisee's rights, obligations, and the overall terms of the franchise relationship. The FDD also mentions that the agreement includes schedules and exhibits, further emphasizing the importance of examining the entire document.
