What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Floyds 99 disapproves of a proposed site, they will grant the franchisee an additional, reasonable period of time to obtain approval of a Franchised Location. The length of this period will be determined in Floyds 99's reasonable business judgment.

Prior to disapproval, the franchisee is responsible for following Floyds 99's site selection procedures, including using their designated site selection service provider to assist in finding a location. The franchisee must submit a complete site submittal package with demographics and other materials that Floyds 99 requires to assess the proposed location. Floyds 99 states that they will not unreasonably withhold approval of a site that meets all of their selection criteria.

This clause ensures that franchisees are not unduly delayed in finding an appropriate location and that Floyds 99 provides sufficient opportunity to find a suitable site. However, the ultimate decision on what constitutes a 'reasonable period of time' rests with Floyds 99, giving them some discretion in the process. The franchisee also bears the responsibility of providing all necessary information for site assessment.
