What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, ADQ has specific rights regarding franchisee membership on the Franchise Advisory Council (FAC) or any committees. ADQ reserves the right to appoint two "at large" franchisee members to the FAC. Furthermore, ADQ can form committees that will collaborate with the FAC on any matter at any time.
ADQ maintains significant control over the FAC and its committees. It possesses the authority to establish, modify, or dissolve the FAC or any of its committees as it sees fit. This includes the power to alter the methods by which franchisee membership on the FAC or any committee is determined.
For a prospective Dq Treat franchisee, this means that while there are avenues for franchisee representation and input through the FAC, ADQ ultimately controls the composition and structure of these advisory bodies. Franchisees should be aware that ADQ can change the rules regarding membership and the existence of these committees, which could impact the level of franchisee influence on marketing, advertising, and other matters.
