What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a prospective franchisee must request the veteran's discount at the time of their initial franchise application. Casiola offers a 15% discount off the initial franchise fee to qualified individuals who were honorably discharged from any branch of the United States Military for their first Franchise Agreement for their first territory.
To qualify for the discount, the applicant must provide documented military service. The granting of the discount is also subject to Casiola's approval and agreement to award a franchise.
This means that veterans interested in a Casiola franchise should ensure they apply for the discount when they submit their initial application and have their military service documentation ready. This proactive step is necessary to potentially reduce the initial franchise fee and take advantage of this incentive offered by Casiola.
