We may issue new specifications and standards for any aspect of our brand system, or modify existing specifications and standards, at any time by revising our Manual and/or issuing new written directives (which may be communicated to you by any method we choose).

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit can modify existing specifications and standards for the franchise. These modifications can be made at any time. Fly To Fit communicates these changes by revising their Manual and/or issuing new written directives. These directives can be communicated through any method Fly To Fit chooses.
Fly To Fit states that they will generally issue new or revised specifications only after thorough testing. This testing is conducted at their headquarters, in company-owned outlets, and/or through limited market tests in multiple units. However, Fly To Fit is not obligated to conduct such testing before implementing changes.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that the standards and specifications under which they operate their Fly To Fit franchise could change. While Fly To Fit indicates they typically test changes, they are not legally bound to do so. Franchisees should stay informed of updates to the Fly To Fit Manual and any written directives from the franchisor to ensure compliance with the latest standards. This flexibility allows Fly To Fit to adapt to market changes and maintain brand consistency, but it also places the onus on the franchisee to keep up with these changes.
