What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Operations Manual outlines the responsibilities of a Deck Medic franchise owner. Specifically, the table of contents of the Operations Manual includes a section on "Responsibilities to Your Fellow Franchisees" found on page 7.
While the FDD references this section, it does not detail the specific responsibilities a franchisee owes to their fellow franchisees. The manual itself is not included as part of the FDD.
A prospective Deck Medic franchisee should ask the franchisor for a copy of the Operations Manual, or at least the section detailing these responsibilities, to fully understand what is expected of them in relation to other franchisees in the Deck Medic system. This will help ensure a clear understanding of the collaborative environment and any potential obligations.
