What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pump It Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Pump It Up retains the right to visit and inspect the premises of a franchised business during construction. This inspection is to ensure compliance with the franchisee's obligations related to the construction of the Pump It Up business.
Pump It Up provides mandatory and suggested specifications and layouts for the business, including requirements for dimensions, design, image, interior layout, décor, fixtures, equipment, signs, furnishings, and color scheme. The franchisee is responsible for developing the franchised business according to these specifications and layouts, while also ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, codes, and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Before construction begins, Pump It Up requires that franchisees send construction plans, specifications, and other plans for review upon request. Additionally, franchisees must retain a licensed architect to develop construction drawings, including architectural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical plans, as well as structural and fire protection plans required by state and local agencies. This inspection right allows Pump It Up to maintain uniformity and standards across all its franchised locations, protecting the brand's image and ensuring a consistent customer experience.
