What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buff City Soap Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must inform Buff City Soap of the commencement of construction within ten days of the actual commencement date. Construction is considered to have started when site work begins with heavy equipment, or if the Makery is located in an existing space, when construction-related work starts at the premises.
This requirement ensures that Buff City Soap is kept informed about the progress of the new location's development. This allows them to monitor adherence to the approved plans and standards, and to provide support or address any issues that may arise during the construction phase.
It is important for prospective Buff City Soap franchisees to adhere to this timeline to avoid any potential delays or complications with the franchise agreement. Failing to notify Buff City Soap within the specified timeframe could potentially lead to a breach of contract.
