What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for maintaining their business location to a high standard. This includes ensuring the location is in good repair, presentable, and sanitary. Franchisees must perform ongoing maintenance, making necessary additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements to keep the location in top condition.
Byrider also has the right to request facility updates to meet the company's current standards. The cost of these updates is capped at $150,000 during the term of the agreement, but this cap does not include the costs of ongoing maintenance or sign replacements. All expenses related to maintaining and upgrading the business location are the franchisee's responsibility.
Furthermore, the franchisee must use the business location solely for conducting the Byrider business, unless the company provides written approval for another use. Franchisees are also required to purchase equipment, supplies, and services from Byrider-approved vendors to ensure quality and uniformity. This ensures that all Byrider locations maintain a consistent brand image and operational standard.
