What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyds 99 provides franchisees with information regarding the selection of suppliers for equipment, inventory, items, materials used, hair care products, and merchandise offered for sale. Floyds 99 will make available a list of designated and approved suppliers, if any, of such equipment, inventory, items, materials, products, and merchandise. If available, Floyds 99 will also provide a description of any regional or central purchase and supply agreements offered by such designated and approved suppliers for the benefit of Floyds 99 franchisees.
Floyds 99 franchisees may be required to purchase Floyds 99 products exclusively from Floyds 99, its affiliates, or suppliers or other sources designated or approved by Floyds 99. Franchisees must purchase or obtain equipment, inventory, and other products and services that comply with Floyds 99's standards and specifications. The type, quality, configuration, capability, and/or performance of the equipment, inventory, and other products and services used or offered through the Floyds 99 Shop are all standards and specifications which are a part of the Licensed Methods.
This means that franchisees have to adhere to Floyds 99's approved supplier list and standards when procuring necessary items for their shop. This ensures consistency across all Floyds 99 locations and helps maintain brand standards. However, it also limits the franchisee's autonomy in choosing suppliers and potentially negotiating better deals. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the process for supplier selection, the criteria for approval, and the flexibility they have in sourcing products and services.
