What form must the Business Plan be in to be satisfactory to Noodles & Company?

According to Noodles & Company's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Noodles & Company may require a prospective franchisee to submit a business plan for any proposed site. The FDD does not specify the exact format or required contents of this business plan.

However, the FDD does state that all information provided by the prospective franchisee and their Principal Owners must be verified as complete and accurate. This information must be submitted according to Noodles & Company's requirements. Noodles & Company will rely on this information when deciding whether to grant a franchise.

Because the FDD does not specify the required format or contents, a prospective franchisee should ask Noodles & Company for detailed guidelines on what the business plan should include and how it should be formatted to meet their standards. This will ensure that the franchisee submits a plan that Noodles & Company finds satisfactory.
