What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment includes architectural charges related to the build-out of a new barbershop. These charges cover specific services necessary to prepare the location for opening.
Specifically, the architectural charges include expenses for an "as built" survey, which the franchisee must obtain and provide to an architect that Floyds 99 may designate. This survey documents the existing conditions of the space. The charges also cover the architect's fee for providing one standard set of blueprints for the barbershop.
Additionally, the architectural charges cover the preparation of any extra blueprint sets or modifications needed to meet local zoning laws, other regulations, or landlord requirements. These costs are part of the overall leasehold improvements, which also include interior remodeling, flooring, painting, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and design work. Franchisees should be aware that these architectural costs can vary depending on the location and any specific requirements of the space or local authorities.
