During the last three fiscal years, have any Better Blend franchisees been restricted from discussing their experiences with prospective franchisees?

According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, no franchisees have been restricted from discussing their experiences with prospective franchisees in the last three fiscal years. Specifically, no franchisees have signed any contract, order, or settlement provision that directly or indirectly restricts a current or former franchisee from discussing their personal experience as a franchisee with potential new franchisees.

This indicates that Better Blend allows open communication between current and former franchisees and prospective franchisees. This transparency can be beneficial for potential franchisees as they can gain firsthand insights into the experiences of others within the Better Blend system.

It is fairly common in the franchise industry for franchisors to include clauses that prevent franchisees from making disparaging remarks about the brand. However, complete restrictions on discussing their experiences are less common, as this can raise concerns about transparency and the free flow of information. The absence of such restrictions suggests that Better Blend is confident in its franchise system and willing to allow potential franchisees to hear directly from current and former operators.
