What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School FDD, franchisees must discontinue offering any services or products that Goldfish Swim School disapproves. The franchise agreement states that Goldfish Swim School may take action, including terminating the franchise, if a franchisee purchases or sells unapproved products or makes purchases from unapproved suppliers. This highlights the importance of adhering to the approved list of services, products, and suppliers to maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
Goldfish Swim School retains the right to periodically change the required or authorized services or products, and there are no limits on their ability to do so. This means that franchisees must stay informed about any changes to the approved services and products and promptly implement those changes in their operations. Franchisees must be prepared to adapt their offerings based on Goldfish Swim School's decisions.
Goldfish Swim School may, from time to time, allow certain services or products that are not otherwise authorized for general use as a part of the System to be offered locally or regionally based on factors, including test marketing, franchisee qualifications, and regional or local differences. This provides some flexibility for franchisees to potentially offer unique services or products in their specific market, but it is subject to Goldfish Swim School's approval and specific conditions.
