What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, City Wide will disregard the Statement of Prospective Franchisee if a franchisee in Wisconsin completes it. The document explicitly states that franchisees in certain states, including Wisconsin, should not complete the Statement of Prospective Franchisee.
This means that if a prospective City Wide franchisee in Wisconsin mistakenly fills out and submits this statement, City Wide will not use the information provided in their evaluation or decision-making process. This instruction is likely due to specific franchise laws or regulations in Wisconsin that may conflict with the purpose or content of the statement.
Prospective franchisees in Wisconsin should be aware of this instruction and ensure they do not complete the Statement of Prospective Franchisee to avoid any confusion or potential misinterpretations. Instead, they should rely on other forms of communication and documentation to convey necessary information to City Wide during the franchise application process.
