Under what conditions can Bor Restoration revoke an alternative supplier's approval?

According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bor Restoration may revoke an alternative supplier's approval if they determine in good faith that the goods or services no longer meet their quality standards. This means that even if a franchisee has received approval to use a supplier other than Bor Restoration's preferred vendors, that approval can be rescinded if the quality of the supplier's goods or services declines.

This stipulation is important for prospective franchisees to consider because it highlights Bor Restoration's control over the supply chain and quality standards. While franchisees have the option to seek alternative suppliers, the approval is not guaranteed and can be revoked. This could potentially disrupt a franchisee's operations if a previously approved supplier is later deemed unacceptable.

It is also important to note that Bor Restoration does not maintain written criteria for approving suppliers. This lack of transparency could make it difficult for franchisees to anticipate whether a particular supplier will be approved or to understand the specific quality standards that Bor Restoration uses to evaluate suppliers.

Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully consider the implications of Bor Restoration's supplier approval process and the potential for approved suppliers to be revoked. It would be prudent to discuss these issues with Bor Restoration during the due diligence process to gain a better understanding of their quality standards and supplier evaluation procedures.
