Red_Wagon_Club Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
We have established a member reciprocity program whereby you must offer services to Members of other RWC Businesses. In connection with the reciprocity program, you must ensure that you and your RWC Business's personnel are aware of all then-current System policies and procedures related to member reciprocity amongst other RWC Businesses that are part of the System. While you will market and promote Membership Agreements to potential clients, you may not enter into Membership Agreements with any of your clients. Rather, your clients will enter into Membership Agreements with OpCo under which you will provide services to such Members.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Red Wagon Club FDD, Red Wagon Club has established a member reciprocity program that requires franchisees to offer services to members of other Red Wagon Club businesses. As a franchisee, you must ensure that you and your RWC Business's personnel are aware of all then-current System policies and procedures related to member reciprocity amongst other RWC Businesses that are part of the System.
While franchisees market and promote Membership Agreements to potential clients, they cannot enter into Membership Agreements with any of their clients. Instead, clients will enter into Membership Agreements with OpCo, and the franchisee will provide services to those members.
This reciprocity program is a key element of the Red Wagon Club system, ensuring that members receive consistent service and benefits across all locations. It also means that franchisees must stay informed about any changes to the System policies and procedures related to member reciprocity to maintain the standards of the Red Wagon Club brand.
