- (6) Delivery Vehicle; Van Wrap.
You will, in most cases, already have vans for your use as delivery vehicles for your existing Flowerama Center.
You must make sure that the vans comply with our standards, must promptly replace worn-out equipment at your expense and must cause your delivery vans to be repaired and repainted when appropriate or as designated by us.
If requested by us, your delivery vehicle must be wrapped in accordance with the current corporate-approved vehicle wrap standards.
If you do not have any vans, you are not required to do so, unless we request that you acquire one.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Flowerama's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether a franchisee is required to wrap their delivery vehicle depends on a few specific conditions. If Flowerama requests it, the franchisee must wrap their delivery vehicle according to the current corporate-approved vehicle wrap standards. Even if the franchisee does not currently have any vans, they are not required to acquire one unless Flowerama specifically requests it.
For existing Flowerama Center co-brand franchises, the estimated initial investment for a vehicle van wrap or paint and logo is between $1,000 and $2,000 per van. This cost is paid as incurred to an automobile graphics company.
These requirements ensure that Flowerama maintains a consistent brand image across all franchise locations, especially concerning delivery vehicles that are highly visible to the public. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Flowerama the specific standards for vehicle wraps and the circumstances under which they would be required to implement them.
