Does the Nothing Bundt Cakes Franchise Agreement include a Site Selection Addendum?

According to Nothing Bundt Cakes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement does include a Site Selection Addendum. Specifically, when signing the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must also enter into Nothing Bundt Cakes' Site Selection Addendum, which is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Franchise Agreement. This addendum identifies a site selection territory and governs the site selection process.

This means that prospective franchisees will not have complete autonomy in choosing their bakery's location. Instead, they will work with Nothing Bundt Cakes to identify and approve a location within a defined territory. The Site Selection Addendum outlines the specific procedures and criteria that Nothing Bundt Cakes uses to evaluate potential sites.

Furthermore, the FDD states that franchisees cannot relocate their bakery without prior written consent from Nothing Bundt Cakes. If relocation is approved, the franchisee must find another location within their territory that meets Nothing Bundt Cakes' current site selection criteria and construction procedures. This ensures that all Nothing Bundt Cakes locations maintain a consistent brand image and operational standard, even if a franchisee wishes to move to a different location.
