What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may waive the service fee and advertising fee, but not the transfer fee, under specific conditions related to relocation. According to the FDD, a franchisee has the right to relocate their showroom during the term of the agreement, provided they meet certain requirements. These include giving the franchisor 90 days prior written notice, ensuring the new location is within their territory, and complying with all other terms of the agreement.
Floors To Go must provide written consent for the relocation, which, according to the FDD, will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon the franchisee's request, Floors To Go may waive the service fee and advertising fee while the franchisee is in the process of relocating.
However, this waiver is temporary and shall not extend beyond 90 days. The FDD does not state that the transfer fee will be waived under any circumstances. Therefore, a franchisee should anticipate paying a transfer fee in the event of a transfer, regardless of other fees being waived during a relocation.
