What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Flowerama's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of the franchisee's death or disability, the rights to the franchise pass to the franchisee's Estate. If the Estate wishes to continue operating the Flowerama Center, they must provide an acceptable supervisorial or managerial employee.

The designated employee is required to complete Flowerama's next Initial Training Program. This ensures that the individual responsible for overseeing the franchise operations has the necessary knowledge and skills to maintain the standards and practices of the Flowerama brand.

This requirement is outlined in Section 29 of the Franchise Agreement and Paragraph 8 of the Co Branding Addendum to the Franchise Agreement for a Start-Up Flowerama Center. For existing Co-Brand Flowerama Centers, the specific requirements will be detailed in the existing Franchise Agreement. This provision aims to ensure business continuity and adherence to Flowerama's operational standards even in unforeseen circumstances.
