What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must display a prominent sign at their facility identifying it as an Alloy franchise. The specific format of this sign must be reasonably acceptable to Alloy. The sign must also acknowledge that the facility is independently owned and operated by the franchisee, and that the Alloy trademark is owned by Alloy and used under a license.
Furthermore, all internal and external signs must consistently adhere to Alloy's outdoor and indoor guidelines, which may be updated periodically. This ensures brand uniformity and compliance with Alloy's standards.
Franchisees are also required to use the name ALLOY as the trade name of their facility and cannot use any other marks or words to identify the facility without prior written consent from Alloy. Additionally, franchisees cannot use the word ALLOY or any similar trademarks as part of their business's legal entity name (e.g., corporation, LLC).
