What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document excerpts provided, there is no 'Description' column outlining prohibited actions for franchisees. The excerpts focus on Item 17, which covers topics such as renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution, as well as addenda for Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington, addressing specific state statutes and regulations.. There is a table that asks if the applicant is an existing DQ or Orange Julius franchisee and a 'Description of Existing Business' column, but this does not outline prohibited actions for franchisees.
Specifically, the addenda address issues like restrictions on jurisdiction or venue outside of Rhode Island, securities offered by Investor Franchisees in Virginia, and unlawful franchise cancellations without reasonable cause in Virginia. These sections primarily deal with legal and regulatory compliance within those states.
To fully understand any prohibited actions or restrictions for Dq Treat franchisees, prospective franchisees should carefully review the complete franchise agreement and other relevant sections of the FDD. It would be prudent to ask the franchisor directly about any specific activities or conduct that are explicitly prohibited under the franchise agreement to ensure full compliance and avoid potential breaches.
