What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement for the second and subsequent Barbershops will be executed within 10 days after Floyds 99's approval of a location for each such Barbershop. Floyds 99 reserves the right to change provisions of the Franchise Agreement to conform with the then-current Franchise Agreement being offered to new franchisees.

However, Floyds 99 agrees that it will not charge an initial franchise fee to the Developer that is greater than the amounts set forth in the agreement and will not increase the Royalty percentage to a rate that is greater than the rate charged to the Developer in the Franchise Agreement being executed. The Developer acknowledges that Floyds 99 has the right, however, to charge then-current published rates for advertising contributions and optional products and services offered to the Developer in accordance with Floyds 99's then-current franchise disclosure document.

In the state of New York, any new or different requirement set forth in the Operations Manual shall not unreasonably increase the Franchisee's obligations or place an excessive burden on the Franchisee's operation of its Floyd's 99 Shop. In Minnesota, Minnesota Statutes, Section 80C.21 and Minnesota Rule 2860.4400(J) prohibit Floyds 99 from requiring litigation to be conducted outside Minnesota, requiring wavier of a jury trial, or requiring the franchisee to consent to liquidated damages, termination penalties or judgment notes. In addition, nothing in the Franchise Disclosure Document or agreement(s) can abrogate or reduce any of franchisee's rights as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, or franchisee's rights to any procedure, forum, or remedies provided for by the laws of the jurisdiction.
