What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyds 99 will provide franchisees with design plans and specifications for their site. These plans include the standards and specifications for leasehold improvements, signs, color schemes, décor, products, inventory, equipment, the POS (Point of Sale) system, computer hardware and software, and displays. However, franchisees are responsible for covering the costs associated with these plans.
Specifically, the franchisee must pay for plans prepared by an approved contractor and their local architect. They are also responsible for the cost of any second review of the construction plans required by Floyds 99, if deemed necessary. Additionally, the franchisee bears the cost of the actual construction. Before construction can commence, Floyds 99 must give their approval of the franchisee's construction plans and specifications.
This arrangement is fairly typical in the franchise industry, where the franchisor sets brand standards but the franchisee usually pays for the build-out to meet those standards. It is important for a prospective Floyds 99 franchisee to factor in these design and construction costs when evaluating the overall investment required to open a franchise location.
