What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not explicitly required to use commercial storage facilities, but they must have adequate storage space for their equipment. The franchisor must review and approve or disapprove the storage facility sites that the franchisee proposes.
Before the equipment package is delivered, the franchisee needs to confirm that they have enough storage space. If a franchisee fails to secure suitable storage space within 120 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, Bigfoot Forestry has the right to terminate the franchise agreement.
Opening a Bigfoot Forestry franchise typically takes 30 to 90 days after signing the Franchise Agreement. This timeframe can be affected by the time it takes to lease adequate storage space for equipment, if required, as well as other factors like securing financing, insurance, licenses, and permits, and completing training.
