What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit I (Franchisee Disclosure Acknowledgment) is generally included as part of the standard exhibits. Specifically, the document lists exhibits A through I as being included in the Franchise Disclosure Document. These exhibits cover a range of information, including financial statements, franchise agreements, franchisee information, and state-specific addenda. However, it is important to note that this inclusion may vary by state.
For instance, the Illinois Addendum explicitly states that "Exhibit I (Franchisee Disclosure Acknowledgment) to the Franchise Disclosure Document is hereby deleted in its entirety." This indicates that for franchisees in Illinois, Exhibit I is not part of the disclosure document. This deletion is likely due to specific state laws or regulations regarding franchise disclosures and acknowledgments.
Because the provided excerpts do not contain specific information regarding Hawaii, it is not possible to definitively confirm whether Exhibit I is included for Moes Southwest Grill franchises in Hawaii. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the state-specific addenda (Exhibit H) within the FDD or directly consult with Moes Southwest Grill to confirm the inclusion or exclusion of Exhibit I for franchises operating in Hawaii.
