What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after obtaining possession of the site for the Alloy facility, franchisees must promptly contact and retain Alloy's designated construction manager or an architect approved by Alloy. The franchisee is then required to have a site survey and basic architectural plans and specifications prepared and submitted for Alloy's approval.

The site survey and basic architectural plans and specifications must be consistent with Alloy's general buildout, image, color scheme, and décor requirements. These requirements are detailed in the manuals for an Alloy facility and include specifications for dimensions, exterior design, materials, interior design and layout, equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signage.

Furthermore, during the construction of the Alloy facility, franchisees are obligated to use only the building materials, equipment, fixtures, audio-visual equipment, furniture, and signage that Alloy has approved. Franchisees must complete the construction and/or remodeling, equipment, fixtures, furniture, and sign installation in strict compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Alloy, as well as all applicable ordinances, building codes, and permit requirements, without making any unauthorized alterations.
