If Bombs Away Franchising requires a franchisee to purchase a particular Input, can the franchisee purchase an alternate to the Input?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Bombs Away requires a franchisee to purchase a specific input, the franchisee can request to purchase an alternate. The franchisee must submit a written request for approval, including any information, specifications, and samples that Bombs Away requests. Bombs Away will then provide written notification of the approval or disapproval of the proposed alternate input within 30 days of receiving the franchisee's request.

This process allows Bombs Away to maintain quality control and standardization across its franchise system while also providing franchisees with a potential avenue to seek cost savings or other benefits by using alternative inputs. However, approval is not guaranteed and is subject to Bombs Away's discretion.

For a prospective Bombs Away franchisee, this means that while you are generally required to purchase inputs as specified by Bombs Away, you have the option to propose alternatives. It is important to carefully document your request and provide all necessary information to support your proposal. Be prepared for the possibility that your request may be denied, and factor in the time it takes for Bombs Away to review your request (up to 30 days) when making purchasing decisions.
