May Extreme Art Studio concentrate purchases with one or more manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers?

According to Extreme Art Studio's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Extreme Art Studio may concentrate purchases with one or more manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers. This is done to potentially secure lower prices, better advertising support, or enhanced services for all franchised or company-operated Extreme Art Studio businesses.

This means that as a franchisee, you may be required to purchase certain products and supplies from specific, designated suppliers chosen by Extreme Art Studio. While this limits your choice of suppliers, the intention is to leverage the collective buying power of the franchise system to benefit all franchisees through potentially lower costs or better service.

Extreme Art Studio estimates that approximately 75% of the purchases required to open your Extreme Art Studio Business and 50% of purchases required to operate your Extreme Art Studio Business will be from them or from other approved suppliers and under their specifications. While this may reduce your flexibility in sourcing products, it is a common practice in franchising to maintain quality control and brand consistency across all locations.
