Does any officer of Mr. Sandless own an interest in any other supplier?

According to the 2025 Mr. Sandless Franchise Disclosure Document, Daniel J. Prasalowicz, who is the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of Mr. Sandless, has a 100% ownership interest in Mr. Sandless itself, which is an approved supplier. The FDD explicitly states that none of the officers of Mr. Sandless owns an interest in any other supplier besides Mr. Sandless.

This arrangement means that Mr. Sandless franchisees are likely required to purchase certain supplies and equipment directly from the franchisor. Franchisees should be aware that the franchisor benefits financially from these purchases. While the FDD states that Mr. Sandless may be an approved supplier, but not the only approved supplier, of equipment, tools, inventory, job tins, and uniforms, it is currently the only approved supplier for the Franchise Starter Kit, invoices and after care packs.

It is typical in franchising for franchisors to derive revenue from the sale of products and services to franchisees. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the costs of these required purchases and compare them to market prices to ensure they are receiving fair value. Additionally, franchisees should inquire about the process for approving new suppliers if they find better deals elsewhere, keeping in mind that Mr. Sandless retains the right to approve or disapprove suppliers.
