What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide the phone number for the Office of Consumer Affairs in Georgia regarding Southern Steer, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document mentions that violations of federal and state law should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission and any applicable state agency, it does not provide specific contact information for state agencies such as the Office of Consumer Affairs in Georgia. The FDD does state that applicable state agencies are listed in Exhibit F.
For a prospective Southern Steer franchisee, this means that they would need to independently locate the contact information for the Office of Consumer Affairs in Georgia or consult Exhibit F of the FDD. This information would be necessary to report any potential violations of federal or state law related to the franchise.
It is important for potential franchisees to have access to this information to ensure they can properly address any legal or ethical concerns that may arise during their franchise operations. A prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor for Exhibit F to obtain this information.
