What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer must furnish a franchise application, financial statements, and other required information to Alloy at least 60 days before the earlier of the date specified in the Development Schedule for executing a Franchise Agreement or the actual date of execution. This information should cover the proposed Facility, the developer, the operation of other facilities within the Development Territory, and the development and operation of the proposed Facility, including investment and financing plans.

Alloy requires this submission to ensure the proper development and operation of facilities and to maintain the reputation and goodwill of all Alloy facilities and trademarks. However, Alloy emphasizes that its confirmation that a developer meets the standards for a new facility does not guarantee the franchisee's success.

In addition to providing the required information, the developer must not be in default of the Development Agreement, any Franchise Agreement, or any other agreement with Alloy or its affiliates. The developer must also have satisfied all monetary and material obligations under the Franchise Agreements for their existing facilities. Finally, both the developer and Alloy must enter into the current form of Franchise Agreement for the proposed Facility.
