What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry FDD, once a franchisee has an approved storage facility, they cannot store their equipment or tools at any other commercial storage facility without first obtaining approval from Bigfoot Forestry.
This requirement ensures that Bigfoot Forestry maintains control over the standards and conditions under which franchisee equipment is stored. By mandating approval, Bigfoot Forestry can verify that the storage facility meets their standards for security, safety, and appearance, which protects the brand's reputation.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they must plan ahead regarding storage and factor in the time it takes to get a storage facility approved. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties.
