What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 360 Painting Franchise Disclosure Document, 360 Painting has the right to establish maximum prices for sales promotions, to the extent permitted by law. However, the franchisee sets the minimum prices for the products and services they offer. This means that while 360 Painting can set a ceiling on promotional pricing, franchisees retain control over their regular pricing and can price above any established maximum for promotions.
This policy allows 360 Painting to maintain brand consistency and prevent extreme discounting that could devalue the brand. At the same time, it gives franchisees flexibility to manage their pricing strategies and profitability. Franchisees should be aware of these pricing guidelines and factor them into their business plans.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the legal limitations on pricing policies, which can vary by jurisdiction. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to ensure they comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding pricing and promotions.
