What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Eos Worldwide has the sole discretion in determining the factors for selecting Approved Suppliers. These factors are designed to maintain the integrity of the Eos Worldwide franchise system, protect the brand's reputation, and ensure consistency across all franchises.
Specifically, Eos Worldwide considers a supplier's previous experience with Eos Worldwide, its affiliates, or the Eos Worldwide franchise system. Recommendations from franchisees or other third parties also play a role in the selection process. The supplier's reputation within the industry and their willingness to offer preferred pricing to franchisees are also important considerations.
It is important to note that Eos Worldwide's listing of a third party as an Approved Supplier or any recommendations they provide do not constitute a guarantee regarding the products or services offered by that supplier. Eos Worldwide is not responsible for the performance or provision of products or services by these third parties to franchisees. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own due diligence on Approved Suppliers to ensure they meet their business needs and standards.
