What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand issues specifications and standards for the franchise through its Manual and/or written directives. These specifications and standards apply to various aspects of the franchise. Better Blend can introduce new specifications or modify existing ones at any time by revising the Manual or issuing new written directives, which can be communicated through any method they choose.
Better Blend generally, but is not obligated to, issue new or revised specifications after evaluating the intended changes. They may also conduct limited market testing in one or more outlets to assess these changes before implementing them across the franchise system. This allows Better Blend to test the viability and effectiveness of new standards before a widespread rollout.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that the operational requirements and standards of the Better Blend franchise can change over time. Franchisees must stay informed of updates to the Manual and any written directives from Better Blend to ensure compliance. While Better Blend typically evaluates changes before implementing them, franchisees should be prepared for the possibility of adapting to new standards and specifications as part of their franchise agreement.
