-
- you submit them to us;
-
- they conform to the Manual;

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to use the advertising templates provided by Ledgers. However, franchisees have the option to create their own advertising materials, but these materials are subject to specific requirements and approval by Ledgers.
The franchisee must first submit their advertising materials to Ledgers for review. The materials must conform to the standards outlined in the Ledgers manual. Additionally, the advertising content must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Finally, Ledgers must provide written approval of the advertising materials.
If Ledgers does not provide written approval within fourteen (14) days of receiving the request, the advertising materials are considered disapproved. This requirement ensures that all advertising and promotional efforts align with Ledgers's brand standards and legal requirements, while also providing franchisees with some flexibility in their marketing strategies.
