What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not explicitly state whether prior written approval is needed to change the Operating Principal of a franchise. However, the FDD does state that franchisees must operate the business according to the Operations Manual and System Standards, which Dryject can modify. Franchisees must also get approval for certain changes to the business.
Specifically, franchisees need prior written approval from Dryject for several aspects of the business. These include offering for sale any products or services not already authorized, using any equipment, commercial vehicles, or premises for purposes other than operating the franchised business, and making material replacements or alterations to any equipment, techniques, signs, or the System of the Franchised Business.
Because the FDD does not directly address the need for approval to change an Operating Principal, prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Dryject on this matter. Understanding the process and requirements for changing an Operating Principal is crucial for the smooth operation and management of the franchise.
