What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyd's 99 Holdings, LLC was initially added as a defendant in a lawsuit on March 27, 2023, due to alleged employment and labor violations by a franchisee, Roise Barbers, Inc. The plaintiffs in the case, Matthew Chavez and Nicole Deis, claimed that Floyd's 99 Franchising, LLC was liable as a joint employer or co-employer with the franchisee.
However, Floyd's 99 Holdings, LLC was later dismissed from the litigation on June 14, 2023. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning the case could potentially be brought against them again in the future under different circumstances.
It's important to note that while Floyd's 99 Holdings, LLC was dismissed, the litigation continued against other defendants, including Floyd's 99 Franchising, LLC, which eventually paid $2,500 as part of a settlement to avoid further legal costs. The court ultimately dismissed the entire lawsuit on December 12, 2024, also without prejudice.
