What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while attendance isn't mandatory, Floyds 99 does recommend that new franchisees attend the opening of a new Barbershop if their schedule allows.
This recommendation suggests that Floyds 99 sees value in observing the opening process of another location. This could provide a new franchisee with insights into the practical aspects of launching a Floyds 99 Barbershop, potentially helping them avoid common pitfalls and learn best practices from experienced franchisees or the Floyds 99 team. However, the FDD stipulates that this is subject to scheduling availability.
Furthermore, if a franchisee is opening their first Floyds 99 shop, Floyds 99 provides up to five days of on-site training and opening assistance at the franchisee's Barbershop. The franchisee or their Principal Manager must be on-site for at least 10 days after the Barbershop opens and be present for all opening assistance provided by Floyds 99. This shows Floyds 99's commitment to supporting new franchisees during the critical launch phase.
