Does Boulder Designs guarantee uniformity in franchise agreements across all franchisees?
Boulder_Designs Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Franchisee acknowledge that other BOULDER DESIGNS franchisees have or will be granted franchises at different times and in different situations, and further acknowledge that the provisions of such franchises may vary substantially from those contained in this Agreement. Franchisee also acknowledge that because complete and detailed uniformity under varying circumstances may not be practical, there may be variations we grant to other of our BOULDER DESIGNS centers (whether franchised, or centers that the Franchisor or its affiliates operate), and will not be entitled to require Franchisor to grant similar variations or privileges to the Franchisee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchise agreements may vary substantially between franchisees. The FDD states that other Boulder Designs franchisees have or will be granted franchises at different times and in different situations, and the provisions of such franchises may vary substantially.
Boulder Designs acknowledges that complete and detailed uniformity under varying circumstances may not be practical. Therefore, variations may be granted to other Boulder Designs centers, whether franchised or operated by the franchisor or its affiliates. A franchisee is not entitled to require Boulder Designs to grant similar variations or privileges.
This lack of guaranteed uniformity means that prospective franchisees should not assume that the terms and conditions offered to them will be identical to those offered to other franchisees. Factors such as location, timing, and individual negotiations can influence the specific terms of each franchise agreement. It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review the franchise agreement and seek legal counsel to understand the specific terms and conditions that apply to their individual situation.
