Does Floyds 99 require approval of construction plans and specifications before construction begins?

According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyds 99 requires that franchisees obtain approval of their construction plans and specifications before beginning construction on their shop. Floyds 99 provides franchisees with the design plans and specifications for their site, including standards for leasehold improvements, signs, color, decor, products, inventory, equipment, POS system, computer hardware and software, and displays.

While Floyds 99 provides the initial design plans, the franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with preparing the plans. This includes the cost of plans prepared by an approved contractor and the franchisee's local architect. The franchisee is also responsible for any costs associated with a second review of the construction plans by Floyds 99, if necessary, and the overall cost of construction.

This requirement ensures that all Floyds 99 locations adhere to the brand's standards and specifications, maintaining consistency across all franchise locations. Prospective franchisees should factor in these plan review and approval requirements when estimating their pre-opening timeline and costs.
