What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Nothing Bundt Cakes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may receive between $10,000 and $117,000 in Tenant Improvements from the landlord. These reimbursements and credits are paid to the franchisee after construction is completed by the landlord. However, it may take 3 to 6 months from the time the Bakery opens to receive these payments.
The FDD notes that the leasehold improvement ranges will be affected by various factors, such as the location of the Bakery and local market conditions. The actual costs may or may not include site preparation, demising walls, and utility extensions, depending on the arrangements negotiated with the landlord. The estimates assume that the landlord will provide connections to adequate electrical, gas, water and sewage service.
Nothing Bundt Cakes indicates that bakery improvement costs, including a modified, above-ground grease trap, electrical, carpentry, and similar work, and contractor's fees, depend on the Bakery's condition, location, and size; the demand for the site among prospective lessees; the site's previous use; the build-out required to conform the site for your Bakery; and any construction or other allowances the landlord grants. A franchisee may negotiate for the landlord to bear more of these costs even though they may amortize those costs in the monthly rent. However, a franchisee may not act as their own general contractor but must use a licensed, bonded contractor with food/restaurant build-out experience.
