What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, qualified veterans may receive a discount on the initial franchise fee. Casiola offers a 15% discount off the initial franchise fee for the first Franchise Agreement and territory to individuals who were honorably discharged from any branch of the United States Military.
To qualify for the veteran's discount, the applicant must request the discount at the time of their initial franchise application. Additionally, they must provide documented military service.
It's important to note that the discount is subject to Casiola's approval and agreement to award a franchise. This means that even if an applicant meets the basic requirements, Casiola still has the discretion to deny the discount or the franchise itself. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to ensure that franchisees are a good fit for the system.
