What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document for 1 800 Packouts does not specify an effective date for franchise sales in Wisconsin. However, it does state that "the effective date of this Disclosure Document is the issuance date of March 31, 2025" in states that do not require registration, filing, or exemption of a franchise.
For states that do require registration, filing, or exemption, 1 800 Packouts may be required to give additional disclosures, which can be found in Exhibit B of the FDD.
Because Wisconsin is not explicitly mentioned, a prospective franchisee should confirm with 1 800 Packouts whether Wisconsin requires registration, filing, or exemption. If it does, the franchisee should review Exhibit B or ask the franchisor directly about any additional disclosures or specific effective dates applicable to franchise sales in Wisconsin.
