What This Means (2024 FDD)
Yes, according to the 2024 Desi District Franchise Disclosure Document, the System Standards may include requirements for cleaning, maintenance, and repair.
Desi District franchisees must keep their businesses in a neat and clean condition, perform appropriate maintenance, and keep all physical property in good repair at all times. Desi District may also prescribe specific work on the physical property, including periodic interior and exterior painting, resurfacing of the parking lot, roof repairs, and replacement of obsolete or worn-out signage, floor coverings, furnishings, equipment, and décor.
These requirements ensure that all Desi District locations maintain a consistent brand image and quality, which is typical in franchising. Franchisees should budget for these ongoing maintenance and repair costs, as failure to comply with System Standards can result in penalties or termination of the franchise agreement. The frequency and cost of these maintenance and repair activities can vary depending on the location, age, and condition of the premises.
