What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Desi District Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District will maintain a website for the brand. The FDD specifies that the website will include the franchisee's business information and telephone number.
This is a typical practice in franchising, as a brand website helps customers find locations and provides a consistent brand image. Desi District's commitment to maintaining a website suggests they understand the importance of online presence for their franchisees.
Beyond maintaining the brand website, Desi District has no other obligation to conduct advertising. However, franchisees are required to spend up to 2% of gross sales each month on marketing their business. Franchisees must also develop a market introduction plan and obtain approval from Desi District at least 30 days before the projected opening date.
