What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Ledgers does not deliver or install equipment, signs, or fixtures for its franchisees. However, Ledgers does provide guidance to franchisees on obtaining these items, including providing the names of approved vendors or specifications. This means that while Ledgers offers support in the selection process, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for the delivery and installation of these items.
This arrangement places the onus on the franchisee to manage the logistics and costs associated with acquiring and setting up their business location. Franchisees will need to factor in the time and expense of coordinating with vendors for delivery and installation, as well as ensuring that all equipment, signs, and fixtures meet Ledgers's specifications.
While Ledgers offers a list of approved vendors, franchisees are responsible for independently managing the procurement and setup of their business location. This is a fairly common practice in the franchise industry, as it allows franchisors to maintain brand standards while avoiding the logistical complexities and potential liabilities associated with direct delivery and installation.
