Does Degree Wellness provide written copies of standards and specifications to approved and proposed suppliers?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Degree Wellness will make available written copies of their standards and specifications to both franchisees and approved or proposed suppliers. However, this is conditional. Degree Wellness will not provide these written copies if the standards and specifications contain confidential information.

This means that a prospective Degree Wellness franchisee can expect to receive written standards and specifications for real estate, goods, and services needed to establish and operate the franchise, as outlined in the Operations Manual. Approved and proposed suppliers will also have access to these standards, ensuring consistency and compliance across the Degree Wellness system.

The exception regarding confidential information is a standard practice in franchising. Franchisors often protect proprietary information, such as unique formulas or business processes. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the scope of information considered confidential and how it might affect their ability to work with suppliers or understand the full operational requirements of the Degree Wellness franchise.
