What must the Alloy franchisee obtain before commencing construction of the Facility?

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must receive written consent to their building plans from Alloy before commencing construction on any Facility. This requirement ensures that the construction aligns with Alloy's standards and specifications.

Prior to obtaining this consent, the franchisee must also contact and retain Alloy's designated construction manager or an approved architect to prepare and submit a site survey and basic architectural plans. These plans must be consistent with Alloy's buildout, image, color scheme, and décor requirements as outlined in the manuals. This includes specific requirements for dimensions, exterior design, materials, interior design and layout, equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signage.

Furthermore, the franchisee is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, and architectural seals, and for complying with all applicable ordinances, building codes, and legal requirements, including the Americans With Disabilities Act. They must also secure and maintain all required zoning changes, building, utility, health, sanitation, and sign permits and licenses. Any changes to the plans after initial approval also require Alloy's prior written consent before implementation.
