What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain and refresh the Facility premises as necessary. Alloy can require franchisees to modernize or replace the building interior, trade dress, equipment, fixtures, and improvements to conform to the standards of new Alloy facilities. However, Alloy will limit any required modernization or replacement during the first two years of the agreement to a maximum of $10,000. Franchisees must also make required expenditures for equipment or leasehold improvements to offer new services.
Alloy requires that all signage at the Facility comply with their current specifications, which may change over time due to modifications to the System, including changes to the Trademarks. Franchisees are responsible for making changes to the outdoor signage as required by Alloy and at their own cost.
If a franchisee fails to make required improvements or perform necessary maintenance, Alloy has the right to effect such improvement or maintenance themselves, and the franchisee must reimburse Alloy for the costs incurred. Compliance with these modernization and maintenance requirements is a condition for any transfer of interest in the Franchise Agreement or any renewal agreement, ensuring continued public acceptance and patronage of Alloy facilities.
