The franchise agreement for The Bagel Nook provides a comprehensive training system to support franchisees before and after launching their business. Below are the numbered training programs and related support activities offered by the Franchisor:
The Bagel Nook grants franchisees a Protected Territory, defined individually using ZIP codes, demographics, and other local factors. Within this area, no other Bagel Nook outlet will be opened during the franchise term, provided the franchisee is not in default.
However, the protection is limited. The Franchisor may still sell products or services in the territory through other channels, such as online sales or retail partnerships. Franchisees are not guaranteed rights to additional locations, and relocation requires prior written approval.
