What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, Floyds 99 has several rights. Floyds 99 has the option to purchase the franchisee's shop or its assets at fair market value, excluding any value attributed to Floyds 99's goodwill and any amounts the franchisee owes to Floyds 99. To exercise this option, Floyds 99 must provide written notice to the franchisee by the termination date or at least 90 days before the expiration of the franchise term. If both parties cannot agree on the fair market value, an independent third-party appraisal will determine the value. Each party selects an appraiser, and those two appraisers select a third; the median of the three appraisals will be the fair market value. Floyds 99 will set the closing date no later than 60 days after termination or nonrenewal, with the option to extend the agreement until closing. Floyds 99 can pay the purchase price in full at closing or in 12 monthly installments with 10% annual interest. If Floyds 99 does not exercise its option to purchase, the franchisee can keep or sell the shop's physical assets to a third party, provided all Floyds 99 trademarks, color schemes, and trade dress are removed in a manner approved by Floyds 99.
Additionally, the franchisee must transfer any rights they possess in a trade name or internet domain name utilizing the words "FLOYD'S 99" or any other Mark owned by Floyds 99 to Floyds 99. The franchisee must also take action to remove all sites referring to the former Floyds 99 shop from the Internet and cancel or assign to Floyds 99 all rights to any domain names for sites referring to the former shop. Floyds 99 is authorized to direct telephone companies and directory publishers to transfer any telephone numbers and directory listings related to the shop to Floyds 99.
Furthermore, if the agreement is terminated by Floyds 99 before its expiration due to franchisee default, Floyds 99 has the right to recover lost future royalties for the remainder of the agreement's term. The franchisee is obligated to pay all outstanding royalties, national marketing contributions, fees, and any other amounts owed to Floyds 99 or its affiliates upon termination or expiration. The franchisee must also abide by all restrictive covenants outlined in the agreement and, if exercised by Floyds 99, the option to purchase described in Section 20.3 of this Agreement.
