What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Card My Yard's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Card My Yard accepts multiple sites for a franchisee's business, the franchisee must notify Card My Yard in writing within five days of the acceptance date which site they intend to acquire. This gives the franchisee a limited time to evaluate the approved locations and make a final decision.
Card My Yard emphasizes that their acceptance of a site, or assistance in site selection, does not guarantee the profitability or success of the business at that location. The franchisee bears the responsibility for choosing the site that best suits their business needs and financial capabilities. This underscores the importance of thorough due diligence on the franchisee's part.
After Card My Yard accepts the site and the franchisee acquires it, the address of the site will be entered on Exhibit C of the Franchise Agreement as the Franchise Location. The Protected Area around this location will also be described on Exhibit C. This establishes the official location of the Card My Yard franchise and defines the territory within which the franchisee will typically have certain protections.
