Can Fly Fitness revoke approval of a supplier?

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly Fitness retains the right to revoke approval of any supplier. Specifically, Fly Fitness reserves "the right to revoke approval of any item or supplier that does not continue to meet our then-current standards." This means that even if a supplier is initially approved, Fly Fitness can remove them from the approved list if they no longer meet the required standards.

This provision is important for prospective Fly Fitness franchisees because it highlights the potential for changes in required suppliers. Franchisees must remain flexible and adapt to any changes in approved suppliers implemented by Fly Fitness. This could involve switching to a new supplier, potentially incurring new costs or adapting to different product specifications.

While the FDD states that Fly Fitness's "criteria for approving items and suppliers are not available to you," franchisees should maintain open communication with Fly Fitness regarding supplier performance and any concerns about meeting standards. This proactive approach can help mitigate potential disruptions caused by supplier changes and ensure compliance with Fly Fitness's requirements.
