What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, City Wide may provide franchisees with advice concerning operating problems. This advice will cover new techniques, administrative processes, bookkeeping, accounting practices, and general operating methods. The advice stems from reports to or inspections made by City Wide, and is provided at City Wide's discretion.
This means that as a City Wide franchisee, you can expect to receive guidance from the franchisor on how to improve your business operations. This support could be invaluable in helping you overcome challenges and optimize your business for success. However, the FDD states that the provision of this advice is not guaranteed, as it is subject to City Wide's discretion.
It's also important to note that City Wide is not liable for the advice or services they provide to franchisees. The FDD states that City Wide does not assume responsibility or liability to the franchisee or any third party through its approvals, advice, or services. Furthermore, franchisees are not obligated to accept City Wide's advice and have the right to determine their own pricing, as long as it aligns with the City Wide concept.
