What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand's methods, standards, and specifications for operating your franchised business will be communicated to you in writing. This communication will occur through confidential manuals and other proprietary guidelines and writings prepared for your use in connection with the franchised business and system.
Fitstop retains the right to change these system standards and specifications as deemed appropriate or necessary. As a franchisee, you will be solely responsible for the costs associated with complying with any modifications to the system. This means that if Fitstop updates its operational procedures or required equipment, you must bear the financial burden of implementing those changes in your franchise.
Furthermore, Fitstop will provide you with a list of then-current approved services and approved products, along with any corresponding instructions, guidelines, and/or directives for how to offer and provide the same. This list will be part of the manuals or otherwise in writing before the opening of your franchised business. Fitstop may update or modify this list in writing at any time, so it is important to stay informed of any changes.
