When was Bonfare founded?

Is a Bonfare franchise profitable?

When a franchisor makes an earnings claim, it appears in Item 19 of the Franchise Disclosure Document, the only place franchise financial performance is officially disclosed. Request the Bonfare FDD on this page to review any Item 19 financial performance representation.
