Prior Experience

We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 2, 1978. Our predecessor was a sole proprietorship operated under the name "Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co." from March, 1977 until August, 1978. This sole proprietorship offered no franchises. The Mountain Man operation provided employment in warehousing, manufacturing, candy making, packaging, and distribution.

Business Offered

Since the business is based on food products, distributors are regulated by local health board codes and regulations. It is possible that there are companies performing similar services as our company. We offer two types of franchises: (1) The Distributor Franchise; "You" sell our Products directly to the public at offices and other businesses. You must purchase your Product from us and sell within a restricted area. (2) A Retail Store Franchise: You open one retail outlet at a specific approved location. You must purchase Product from us or the Product must be approved by us. We approve gift items only for general categories of gifts, not specific vendors.

Initial Fees

The initial franchise fee is $7500.00. This is the only fee that is required for the purchase of the franchise. This fee is non-refundable.

We, our agents, and affiliates do not offer financing arrangements directly or indirectly to you. There is no agreement between us and any lender or other third party to provide financing to you. There are no waivers of defenses or similar provisions in any note, contract or other instrument to be signed by you.

Franchisee Revenue and Profit

The FTC's Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential financial performance of its franchised and/or franchisor-owned outlets, ' i if there is a reasonable basis for the information, and if the information is included in the disclosure document. Financial performance information that differs from that included in Item 19 may be given only if: (1) a franchisor provides the actual records of an existing outlet you are considering buying; or (2) a franchisor supplements the information provided in this Item 19, for example, by providing information about possible performance at a particular location or under particular circumstances. We do not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance or that past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor's management by contacting: David Conner, 10338 S. Progress Way, Parker, Co. 80134, 303-841-4041; the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
