The Franchisee shall, at the Franchisee's expense and throughout the term of this Agreement, remain in compliance and strictly adhere to all of the Franchisor's current standards and specifications for the FLOYD'S 99 Shop as prescribed from time to time.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to several operational standards to maintain the quality and consistency of the brand. Floyds 99 requires franchisees to operate in compliance with the standards and specifications outlined in the Operations Manual, which may be modified periodically. These standards cover various aspects, including the products and services offered, the physical location, equipment, furniture, fixtures, hair care products, inventory policies, employee attire, supplies, forms, and advertising materials. Floyds 99 has the right to change these standards with 30 days' written notice.
Floyds 99 franchisees must purchase or obtain equipment, inventory, and services that meet the franchisor's standards. This includes maintaining a sufficient inventory of Floyds 99 products and other branded products to meet customer demand. Franchisees may be required to purchase Floyds 99 products exclusively from the franchisor or its approved suppliers. They must also equip their barbershops with a point-of-sale (POS) system, computer hardware, and software that align with Floyds 99's specifications, potentially licensing proprietary software from designated suppliers and using compatible computer hardware.
Furthermore, Floyds 99 franchisees are responsible for ensuring their employees comply with operational standards and all relevant laws and regulations. This includes hiring licensed barbers and cosmetologists who meet the franchisor's experience guidelines and ensuring that all employees present a professional appearance as described in the Operations Manual. Franchisees must also renovate or remodel their shops when required by Floyds 99 to comply with the brand's image and operational standards. Franchisees must also use Floyds 99's designated credit card processing service and adhere to Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards to protect data. If a data breach occurs, the franchisee must notify Floyds 99 immediately and comply with all investigation and remediation efforts.
