Does Desi District provide standard building plans and specifications for constructing the premises?

According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District will provide franchisees with a set of their standard building plans and specifications, as well as standard recommended floor plans and specifications for required décor.

Before opening their Desi District business, franchisees must have potential locations reviewed and approved by Desi District. Franchisees are responsible for conforming the premises to local ordinances and building codes and for obtaining the necessary permits. The FDD states that the typical length of time between signing the franchise agreement and opening the business is 6-24 months, with the franchisee's ability to obtain a lease, financing, permits, and hire employees affecting this timeframe.

These pre-opening obligations are part of the franchisor's assistance to franchisees. However, the FDD also states that Desi District is not required to provide franchisees with any assistance except as listed in the document. Franchisees should carefully review the specific obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee regarding site selection, construction, and opening to fully understand their responsibilities and potential costs.
