What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at least 90 days before the franchise term expires, City Wide will inspect the franchised business and its equipment. Following the inspection, City Wide will notify the franchisee of any required maintenance, refurbishing, renovations, remodeling, and equipment upgrades that need to be completed.
The franchisee is responsible for completing all required actions at their own expense and to City Wide's satisfaction. All maintenance, refurbishing, renovating, remodeling, and equipment upgrades must be completed no later than 30 days after the term expires.
This means that as a City Wide franchisee, you should be prepared for a mandatory inspection near the end of your franchise term. You will need to budget for potential expenses related to required upgrades and maintenance to meet City Wide's standards. Failing to complete these requirements could impact your ability to renew the franchise agreement or lead to other penalties.
