How will Deer Solution notify a franchisee if it revokes approval of a supplier?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a previously approved supplier's standards fall below Deer Solution's designated standards, Deer Solution will revoke its approval of that supplier. Deer Solution will then notify franchisees in writing of the revocation of approval.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising. Franchisors typically maintain control over their supply chain to ensure quality and consistency across all franchise locations. This benefits the brand by ensuring customers receive a consistent product or service, regardless of location.

For a prospective Deer Solution franchisee, this means they must stay informed of any supplier changes communicated by Deer Solution. Relying on a previously approved supplier who has since been revoked could lead to a violation of the franchise agreement. It is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure all suppliers meet Deer Solution's current standards.

It is also important to note that Deer Solution can change its specifications or list of approved or designated suppliers. Deer Solution may notify franchisees of these changes in various ways, including written or electronic correspondence, amendments, and updates to the manuals, verbal, and other forms of communication.
