What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dq Treat does not authorize its employees or representatives to make any representations, either orally or in writing, about a franchisee's future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. This policy is in place to ensure that prospective franchisees do not rely on potentially inaccurate or misleading information when making their investment decisions.
However, if a prospective franchisee is purchasing an existing Dq Treat outlet, Dq Treat may provide the actual records of that specific outlet. This allows the potential franchisee to review the historical performance of the location they are considering acquiring.
The FDD advises that if a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections about their future income, they should report it to Dq Treat's management by contacting Shelly H. O'Callaghan at 8000 Tower, Suite 700, 8331 Norman Center Drive, Bloomington, MN 55437 or by telephone at (952) 830-0308, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This measure is in place to protect potential franchisees from unauthorized and potentially misleading financial claims.
