What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Deck Medic does not provide assistance in delivering or installing signs and equipment. However, Deck Medic will provide a list of approved signage and equipment, to the extent that they have designated them, either as part of the Manuals or otherwise in writing. Deck Medic will also review and approve, in their discretion, proposed signage and equipment.
This means that while Deck Medic offers guidance on selecting appropriate signs and equipment for the franchise, the franchisee is responsible for the actual delivery and installation. This is a common arrangement in franchising, where the franchisor sets brand standards but the franchisee manages the logistics of implementation.
Prospective Deck Medic franchisees should factor in the costs and logistics of sign and equipment delivery and installation when planning their initial setup. This includes budgeting for these expenses and coordinating with suppliers or contractors to ensure timely and correct installation.
