What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee desires to purchase an alternate Input, they must submit a written request for approval along with any information, specifications, and/or samples requested by Bombs Away. Bombs Away Franchising will then provide written notification of the approval or disapproval of the proposed alternate Input within 30 days after receiving the franchisee's request.
This means that while franchisees can request approval for alternate Inputs, Bombs Away Franchising retains the right to either approve or disapprove the request. The franchisee is responsible for providing all necessary documentation to support their request.
This clause allows Bombs Away to maintain quality control and standardization across all franchise locations. Franchisees should carefully consider the potential impact on their business if a desired alternate Input is not approved, and they should discuss this policy with Bombs Away Franchising during their due diligence process.
