Floyds_99 Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Unless we agree to a different arrangement, you are required to participate personally in the direct operation of your first FLOYD'S 99 Shop and to maintain an active role in overseeing day-to-day operations of second and subsequent Shops, though you are not required to live in the Protected Territory or the Development Area, for your Shops. You will need to designate a manager ("Principal Manager") to be responsible for the direct on-premises supervision of the second and subsequent Barbershop(s) at all times during their hours of operation. If you are a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, we do not require that your Principal Manager own an equity interest in the entity. You or, if applicable, the Principal Manager and your other Barbershop managers, must successfully complete our mandatory initial training program for a FLOYD'S 99 Shop. You and your managers, including your Principal Manager and all Barbershop managers, must enter into a nondisclosure and noncompetition agreement with us (Exhibit I to this Disclosure Document), which restricts individuals and members of their immediate families, including spouses, children and any other relative living with them. We make no recommendations and have no requirements regarding employment or other written agreements between you and your employees.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee owns multiple Floyds 99 Barbershops, they must designate a manager, referred to as the "Principal Manager", to be responsible for the direct, on-premises supervision of each subsequent barbershop. This individual is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of these locations.
Floyds 99 requires that the Principal Manager complete the initial training program. This ensures that the manager is well-versed in the brand's standards, specifications, and operational procedures. This training is a prerequisite for the manager to perform their duties effectively.
This requirement ensures that each Floyds 99 location, especially those beyond the franchisee's first shop, maintains consistent quality and adheres to the brand's standards. Even though the franchisee isn't required to live within the protected territory of these subsequent shops, they must ensure a qualified Principal Manager is always present during operating hours.
