What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, a condition for the continued approval of a supplier is granting Floyds 99 permission to inspect the supplier's facilities and products. This ensures that the supplier continues to comply with Floyds 99's standards and specifications.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they wish to use a supplier not already approved by Floyds 99, that supplier must agree to potential inspections by Floyds 99. This requirement helps Floyds 99 maintain consistent quality and standards across all its franchise locations. The franchisee may need to inform potential suppliers of this condition and ensure they are willing to comply.
This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their brand and ensure consistency. The franchisee also bears the cost of the investigation to determine if the new products meet Floyds 99's standards.
