What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain and potentially upgrade several aspects of their business to comply with the franchisor's standards. Specifically, franchisees must maintain their Approved Vehicles, the Franchised Business location, and all equipment, fixtures, furnishings, signs, artwork, décor items, and inventory to meet Spray Net's standards and specifications as outlined in the manuals or in writing.
Furthermore, Spray Net can request franchisees to make additions, alterations, repairs, and replacements to these items. At Spray Net's request, but not more often than once every five years, franchisees must refurbish and upgrade the Approved Vehicles, any equipment on them, and other components of the Franchised Business. This includes conforming to the building design, trade dress, color schemes, and presentation of Proprietary Marks, consistent with Spray Net's current standards. Refurbishment may include redecoration, remodeling, and modifications to existing improvements.
However, the refurbishment and upgrade requirements specifically exclude vehicle wraps, lettering, and/or trade dress for vehicles used in the operation of the Franchised business, as these may be updated more frequently. All these maintenance, refurbishment, and upgrade activities are to be conducted at the franchisee's expense, representing a potentially significant ongoing cost of operating a Spray Net franchise.
