What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for the construction and equipping of their facilities. Alloy requires that each facility be constructed and equipped according to the franchisor's current specifications and standards, which cover equipment, inventory, signage, fixtures, and the overall design and layout of the building. Franchisees must obtain written consent from Alloy for their building plans before starting any construction.

After securing the site for the Alloy facility, franchisees must promptly engage Alloy's designated construction manager or an approved architect to prepare and submit a site survey along with architectural plans. These plans must align with Alloy's general buildout, image, color scheme, and décor requirements, as detailed in the manuals. This includes specifications for dimensions, exterior and interior design, materials, layout, equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signage. Franchisees are obligated to use only approved building materials, equipment, fixtures, audio-visual equipment, furniture, and signage during construction.

Furthermore, franchisees must ensure that the construction, remodeling, equipment, fixture, furniture, and sign installation are completed in strict compliance with the approved plans, all applicable ordinances, building codes, and permit requirements. They are also responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, and architectural seals, and for complying with legal requirements such as the Americans With Disabilities Act. This includes securing all required zoning changes, building, utility, health, sanitation, and sign permits and licenses. Any changes to the plans after initial approval require Alloy's prior written consent, and no modifications can commence without this consent.

Before opening the Alloy facility for business, franchisees must meet several conditions, including compliance with site selection and construction requirements, ensuring the facility is constructed, decorated, furnished, equipped, and stocked according to approved plans. Additionally, franchisees must complete the initial training program, pay all due amounts, provide required insurance certificates, obtain necessary governmental permits and licenses, and be in full compliance with the franchise agreement. They must also have a minimum of 75 members who have joined during the pre-sale marketing campaign, with signed membership agreements and verified credit cards on file.
