Why should you Register with the NBN?

1. As the last contact point for CBCL products, we believe that our franchisees are a critical link in Canada Bread delivery chain. By working together to grow our Network we ensure profitability for our members and Canada Bread. Our involvement in this beneficial working arrangement helps build an exemplary Direct Store Delivery system. The NBN's role in building Canada Bread's equity will ultimately provide advantages for all of us.
   
   
2. Distributors and Franchisees must collaborate to protect their most important asset —route equity. Since we all have paid money to purchase our contracts, it makes good business sense to keep well informed about current situations that could affect our business. The NBN will offer information, forums and educational tools to help grow our business. Your Registered Membership is needed to help us build these tools and grow our opportunities.
   
   
3. The franchise network is spread out across Canada. The NBN can raise a national voice for our common problems — and solutions. This Association creates a bond between all franchisees which we will use to leverage our value into buying power while growing our business knowledge.

How can you get involved?

1. Ideally, every CBCL Franchisee should take the time to Register their NBN membership.
2. At a minimum, Franchisees can collect contact information from their colleagues and participate by posting ideas or comments on this website.
3. Communication is critical to the network. We are always looking for additional depot representatives to assist on a local level -collecting contact information and informing other franchisees about network proceedings.
4. Effective communication between each and every depot in Canada requires a small commitment of time from every member. Each active role in this process, however small, will contribute to our overall success, and ultimately yours!
