What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally restricted from engaging in any business other than the operation of their Floyds 99 Barbershop. The franchisee must dedicate their efforts to promoting and operating the Floyds 99 Shop and utilize the brand's methods and systems.
This restriction means a franchisee cannot simultaneously run another business, whether related or unrelated to the barbershop, without explicit written approval from Floyds 99. This ensures that the franchisee's focus remains solely on the success of the Floyds 99 franchise and that the brand's standards are consistently upheld.
Additionally, the franchisee is limited to offering only services and products approved by Floyds 99. They cannot offer or sell any unauthorized services or products from or through the Floyds 99 Shop, including wholesale orders or off-premises sales, without prior written consent from the franchisor. This control over services and products helps maintain brand consistency and quality across all Floyds 99 locations.
