What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor retains the right to modify the standards and specifications for the barbershop. This includes changes to services and products offered, the franchised location, equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory policies, hair care products (both for sale and use), employee attire, supplies, forms, and advertising material. Floyds 99 will provide franchisees with 30 days prior written notice of these changes.
As a Floyds 99 franchisee, you are obligated to adhere to these updated standards and specifications at your own expense throughout the term of the franchise agreement. This means that franchisees must be prepared to adapt their barbershop to comply with any changes Floyds 99 deems necessary.
Furthermore, Floyds 99 can require franchisees to renovate, refurbish, remodel, or replace property, furnishings, and equipment to comply with the franchisor's image, operational standards, and performance expectations. Franchisees will be given a reasonable timeframe to implement these changes. This ensures that all Floyds 99 locations maintain a consistent brand image and meet the franchisor's standards, but it also means franchisees must be prepared for potential costs associated with these updates.
