What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt FDD, in certain situations, a franchisee may be required to operate under a different name than Green Leaf's Beyond Great Salads and/or Bananas Smoothies & Frozen Yogurt. If this occurs, the franchisee will be required to use the mark "The Market By Villa".
This stipulation means that a prospective Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisee needs to be aware that the branding of their location might not always be consistent with the standard Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt name.
