What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyds 99 has specific rights regarding modifications to the franchised location. The franchisee must get Floyds 99's written approval before signing any lease, including amendments, or purchasing real property for the barbershop. The lease needs to include clauses that allow Floyds 99 to enter the premises and make necessary changes to protect their marks and licensed methods.

Floyds 99 can also make alterations to protect their marks and licensed methods, such as signs, furniture, fixtures, trade dress, or décor. They will provide reasonable notice to the franchisee before entering the location to make these changes. If the franchisee doesn't make the required alterations, Floyds 99 can do it on their behalf and charge the franchisee for all associated expenses, including travel, lodging, construction, materials, and a fee for the time spent by Floyds 99's employees or agents.

Furthermore, any improvements or modifications to the barbershop, whether copyrightable or not, are considered part of the licensed methods and benefit Floyds 99. This ensures that the brand maintains control over the look and feel of its locations and can enforce changes needed to maintain brand standards. The franchisee is responsible for adhering to Floyds 99's standards and specifications for the shop throughout the agreement.
