If Dryer Vent Squad does not designate a supplier in the Manuals, what is required of the franchisee?

According to Dryer Vent Squad's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Dryer Vent Squad does not designate a supplier in the Manuals for a particular item, franchisees must purchase those products, supplies, and services from suppliers who meet Dryer Vent Squad's specifications and standards.

This means that while Dryer Vent Squad maintains control over the quality and consistency of its brand by requiring franchisees to use approved suppliers, franchisees have some flexibility in sourcing goods and services if no specific supplier is mandated. However, it is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that any supplier they choose meets the standards set by Dryer Vent Squad.

Prospective Dryer Vent Squad franchisees should carefully review the Manuals to understand the specific standards and specifications required for all products, supplies, and services. Additionally, franchisees can request approval for new suppliers, but this process may involve fees, testing, and facility inspections, with Dryer Vent Squad reserving the right to withhold approval. This ensures that all suppliers meet the system's requirements and protect the brand's integrity.
