What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will maintain a website for the Desi District brand. This website will include the franchisee's business information and telephone number. This is a benefit to the franchisee as it provides an online presence and helps customers find the location. Desi District has no other obligation to conduct advertising.
As a Desi District franchisee, it is important to ensure that your business information and telephone number are accurately listed on the website. This will help customers find and contact your location. You should also be aware that Desi District has no other obligation to conduct advertising, so you will need to develop your own marketing strategies to attract customers.
In addition to the brand website, Desi District franchisees are required to spend up to 2% of gross sales each month on marketing their business. Franchisees may use their own advertising or marketing material only with the franchisor's approval. To obtain approval, franchisees must submit any proposed advertising or marketing material at least 14 days prior to use. If Desi District does not respond, the material is deemed rejected. If a franchisee develops any advertising or marketing materials, Desi District may use those materials for any purpose, without any payment to the franchisee.
