Does the Deck Medic affiliate Konodecks, Inc. offer franchises?

According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the affiliate Konodecks, Inc. does not offer franchises. The FDD states that Konodecks, Inc. was established on March 4, 2016, and owns and operates three Deck Medic businesses similar to the franchised businesses offered by Deck Medic. However, the document explicitly states that Konodecks, Inc. has not offered franchises in the past and does not currently offer franchises in any lines of business.

This information is relevant for prospective Deck Medic franchisees as it clarifies the relationship between Deck Medic and its affiliate, Konodecks, Inc. While Konodecks, Inc. operates similar businesses, it does not participate in franchising, meaning potential franchisees cannot directly invest in or operate under the Konodecks, Inc. name. This distinction is important for understanding the scope and structure of the Deck Medic franchise system.

It is common for franchisors to have affiliates that either supply goods or services to franchisees or operate company-owned locations. In this case, Konodecks, Inc. functions as an operator of Deck Medic businesses, providing insight and experience to the franchisor but not engaging in franchise sales. This structure allows Deck Medic to maintain control over its franchise system while benefiting from the operational knowledge of its affiliate.
