Under what conditions can Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt revoke approval of a supplier?

According to the 2025 Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt FDD, Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt reserves the right to re-inspect the facilities and products of any approved supplier. If the supplier fails to continue meeting Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt's criteria, Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt can revoke its approval.

This means that even after a supplier is initially approved to provide equipment, supplies, or other products to Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisees, the franchisor retains the authority to ensure ongoing compliance with their standards. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to maintain quality and consistency across all locations.

For a prospective Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt franchisee, this highlights the importance of using only approved suppliers and ensuring those suppliers maintain the required standards. If a supplier loses approval, the franchisee will need to switch to an alternative approved source, which could potentially impact costs or supply chain logistics. It would be prudent for a franchisee to understand the criteria Bananas Smoothies Frozen Yogurt uses to evaluate and approve suppliers, as well as the process for appealing a disapproval.
