What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away Franchising has the authority to vary or waive any System Standard for individual Bombs Away franchises. This flexibility is based on specific factors related to the franchise's location and operational environment.
These factors include the peculiarities of the site, specific circumstances, population density, business potential, the population of the trade area, existing business practices, and applicable laws or regulations. Bombs Away Franchising may also consider any other condition relevant to the performance of a franchise or group of franchises when deciding whether to grant a variation or waiver.
It is important to note that if Bombs Away Franchising grants a System Standard variation or waiver to one franchisee, other franchisees are not automatically entitled to the same treatment. Each request is evaluated independently based on its unique circumstances. This clause provides Bombs Away with the flexibility to adapt the System to different market conditions and individual franchise situations, but it also introduces a degree of uncertainty for franchisees, as they cannot assume that a concession granted to another franchisee will be extended to them.
