Is a Boulder Designs franchisee required to allow visits from prospective franchisees during business hours?

According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to allow visits from prospective franchisees during business hours. This is part of the agreement to ensure the franchise system's growth and development.

This requirement means that as a Boulder Designs franchisee, you must be willing to open your business to potential new franchisees so they can observe the operations and get a feel for the business. This could involve answering their questions, showing them the facility, and explaining your daily routines. While this might take some time and effort, it can also be a chance to showcase your success and contribute to the expansion of the Boulder Designs network.

It's important to note that these visits must occur during your regular business hours, so you'll need to be prepared to accommodate them without disrupting your normal operations. While the FDD specifies that you must allow these visits, it does not detail how often they might occur or how much advance notice you will receive. It would be prudent to discuss these details with Boulder Designs to understand the potential impact on your business and staffing.
