What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 23 contains a table of contents that lists the location of information regarding the franchisor's right of first refusal. Specifically, "Franchisor Right of First Refusal" is addressed on page 44 of the FDD.
A right of first refusal is a contractual right that gives Dryject the first opportunity to purchase the franchise if a franchisee decides to sell it. This clause allows Dryject to maintain control over who enters the franchise system.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the terms and conditions outlined on page 44 to understand the circumstances under which Dryject can exercise its right of first refusal, any limitations on the franchisee's ability to sell, and the process for determining a fair price for the franchise in such a scenario.
