What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor approves all volunteers for the Franchise Advertising Council. The council, if established, serves in an advisory capacity regarding advertising expenditures and the administration of the advertising fund.
The Franchise Advertising Council may consist of Spray Net's management representatives, employees, franchisees, or the franchisee themselves. Spray Net retains the right to modify or dissolve the Franchise Advertising Council at any time, maintaining control over its composition and existence.
This structure ensures that Spray Net maintains oversight of the advertising fund and strategy, while potentially incorporating franchisee input. Prospective franchisees should be aware that participation in the council is voluntary and subject to Spray Net's approval, and that the franchisor ultimately controls the council's decisions and existence.
