What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mr. Sandless's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Mr. Sandless retains the right to revoke approval of any item or supplier under specific conditions. This revocation can occur if the item or supplier no longer meets Mr. Sandless's criteria or if it does not adequately serve the needs of the entire franchise network.
Mr. Sandless will provide written notification of any changes to the lists of approved supplies and suppliers, which may be communicated via email or through updates to the Operations Manual. These lists are subject to change at any time, giving Mr. Sandless the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions or quality concerns.
This policy ensures that Mr. Sandless can maintain quality control and uniformity across all franchise locations.
