What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay royalties on a weekly basis. The royalty is 6% of the Gross Sales generated from or through their Floyds 99 shop. These payments are to be made via electronic funds transfer on a designated day of the week, based on the Gross Sales of the immediately preceding week.
Gross Sales include all sales of services, products, or merchandise, whether for cash or credit, and any revenues from vending machines and sales of promotional items. Exclusions from Gross Sales include federal, state, or municipal sales or service taxes collected from clients and paid to the appropriate taxing authority, discounts approved in advance by Floyds 99 in writing, and other exclusions authorized in writing by Floyds 99.
It is important for prospective Floyds 99 franchisees to understand that these royalty payments are a recurring weekly expense that will impact their cash flow. Franchisees must ensure they have systems in place to accurately track Gross Sales and make timely electronic payments to Floyds 99 to avoid potential penalties or breaches of the franchise agreement. The electronic transfer is facilitated through an Authorization Agreement for Preauthorized Payments, which the franchisee must execute no later than 30 days prior to the opening of the barbershop.
