What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether an Alloy franchisee is required to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) unit on-site depends on state and local laws. Specifically, the FDD states that a franchisee's state laws may mandate having an AED unit at the facility.
In addition to the AED unit, these state laws may also require that the Alloy franchisee have staff members trained in how to use the AED. These staff members may also need to be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
It is the franchisee's responsibility to comply with all local, state, and federal laws when operating their Alloy franchise. Failure to comply with these laws constitutes a material breach of the Franchise Agreement. Prospective franchisees should investigate the specific regulations in their area to ensure compliance.
