The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for Nothing Bundt Cakes includes an exhibit specifically addressing franchisee disclosure acknowledgment. However, this acknowledgment form is explicitly not applicable to franchise sales subject to state franchise disclosure laws in Washington.

This suggests that Washington's franchise laws may provide specific protections or require different disclosures than those outlined in the standard Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise agreement. The FDD also includes addenda for Wisconsin, addressing the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, which supersedes any inconsistent provisions in the franchise agreement. This highlights that franchise agreements can be modified by state-specific laws.

While the FDD doesn't directly state which pricing requirements are unlawful in Washington, the inclusion of Exhibit J indicates that certain aspects of the standard franchise agreement may not be enforceable or may be subject to different interpretations under Washington law. A prospective franchisee in Washington should consult with a franchise attorney to understand the specific pricing regulations and protections afforded to them under Washington state law. This would include understanding how Washington law impacts any pricing plans, standards, or specifications outlined in the Nothing Bundt Cakes Operations Manual or other confidential information provided by the company.
