What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Disclosure Questionnaire is not to be used for any franchise sale in or to residents of Washington. This means that prospective Kidokinetics franchisees in Washington are not required to complete the standard Franchise Disclosure Questionnaire included in Exhibit F of the FDD.
This exclusion suggests that Washington state may have specific regulations or requirements regarding franchise sales that differ from other states. Kidokinetics likely addresses these specific requirements through a state-specific addendum or other means, as indicated by the mention of state addenda in Exhibit G.
Prospective franchisees in Washington should carefully review Exhibit G, which contains any state-specific addenda applicable to Washington. They should also consult with a franchise attorney to ensure full compliance with Washington state franchise laws and regulations, as the standard questionnaire is not applicable in their state.
