Does Card My Yard provide written site selection guidelines?

According to the 2025 Card My Yard FDD, Card My Yard does not provide franchisees with written site selection guidelines. However, Card My Yard will assist in site selection to ensure the location meets the minimum standards, which include at least 18 feet of wall space with walls at least 8 feet high.

Typically, Card My Yard anticipates that the business will be run from the franchisee's home. If a franchisee wishes to operate the Card My Yard business from a location that is not their primary residence, they must submit a description of the site and evidence that the site satisfies Card My Yard's site selection guidelines. The franchisee must also provide any other information and materials that Card My Yard may reasonably require, including a final, complete copy of the lease or contract of sale for the site, which must incorporate a rider in substantially the form attached to the FDD as Exhibit F.

Card My Yard has 15 days after receiving all required site information to accept or reject the proposed site. The franchisee cannot use any site for the Card My Yard business unless Card My Yard first accepts it in writing, and the franchisee cannot make any binding commitment with respect to a site unless Card My Yard first accepts the site in writing. The FDD states that Card My Yard's acceptance of a prospective site and assistance in the selection of a site does not constitute a representation, promise, warranty, or guarantee that the Card My Yard business operated at that site will be profitable or otherwise successful.
