Cherry Creek cookie shop stalls as parent company files bankruptcy

Original headline: “Planned Cherry Creek cookie shop in limbo as company goes bankrupt”

Why this matters

Please and Thank You, a cookie shop planned for Sixth Avenue in Cherry Creek, is now in limbo after its parent company filed for bankruptcy. The founder had been aiming for a spring opening, but a controversy out of the Louisville, Kentucky location appears to have accelerated the company's financial collapse. For Denver-area operators, this is a reminder that franchise or licensed-brand expansion deals carry upstream risk: if the franchisor or parent entity fails, your lease obligations, buildout costs, and deposits do not disappear with them.

What to do

Reread any franchise, license, or brand-affiliation agreement you have signed and confirm what happens to your deposits and lease if the parent entity becomes insolvent.
