What is the deadline for a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisee to submit a completed site review?

According to the 2025 Nothing Bundt Cakes Franchise Disclosure Document, a prospective franchisee must submit a completed site review within thirty (30) days after executing the Site Selection Addendum. This addendum is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Franchise Agreement and governs the site selection obligations of both parties. The franchisee is responsible for purchasing or leasing a site approved by Nothing Bundt Cakes within ninety (90) days of the Franchise Agreement's effective date. Time is of the essence in this process.

Before acquiring a site, the franchisee must submit a completed site review in the specified form, along with any other required information, and a letter of intent or evidence confirming favorable prospects for obtaining a site. Nothing Bundt Cakes has thirty (30) days from receiving this information to approve or disapprove the proposed site. The site is not considered approved unless Nothing Bundt Cakes expressly approves it in writing.

Nothing Bundt Cakes will provide site selection guidelines, consultation, and may conduct on-site evaluations as part of the site approval process. While on-site evaluations are not mandatory, Nothing Bundt Cakes may conduct up to one on-site visit at their own cost if deemed necessary. This detailed process ensures that the selected site meets Nothing Bundt Cakes' standards and specifications, which is crucial for the success of the franchise.
