What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to renew a franchise, a franchisee may be required to perform replacements and upgrades to ensure the franchised business's equipment and computer systems conform to the specifications used for new Dryject franchised businesses at the time of renewal.
This requirement ensures that all Dryject franchises maintain a consistent standard and utilize current technology. For a franchisee, this means they may need to invest in new equipment or software as a condition of renewing their franchise agreement. The specific nature and cost of these upgrades will depend on the then-current standards for new Dryject franchises.
It is important to note that the new franchise agreement executed at the time of renewal may contain terms and conditions substantially different from the original agreement, potentially including different royalty fees, advertising expenditure requirements, and territory size. Additionally, the franchisee must pay a renewal fee equal to 20% of the initial franchise fee then being paid by new franchisees.
