Can Card My Yard change the list of required branded items?

According to Card My Yard's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Card My Yard retains the right to modify the list of required branded items. This includes the ability to add or remove items from the list of required "Card My Yard" branded items at their discretion. These branded items include, but are not limited to, stationary, business cards, office supplies, clothing, and hats.

As a Card My Yard franchisee, this means that the specific items you are required to purchase from Card My Yard or their designated suppliers can change over time. While this provides Card My Yard with flexibility to maintain brand standards and introduce new products, it also means that franchisees must be prepared to adapt to changes in required inventory and potentially incur additional costs if new items are added to the mandatory purchase list.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that Card My Yard is the only approved supplier for these branded items, ensuring uniformity across the franchise system. However, this also limits the franchisee's ability to source these items from alternative suppliers, even if they could find them at a lower cost. Franchisees should factor in the potential for changes in required branded items when assessing the overall cost of operating a Card My Yard franchise.
