What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, The Standardx or its designated affiliate will directly provide and deliver some FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) and other items, and in certain cases, will also install them. For other items, The Standardx will provide franchisees with a list of approved suppliers. The System Standards or other communications from The Standardx will outline the standards and specifications for certain items.
This means that as a franchisee, you may not have complete freedom in choosing all FF&E and other items for your The Standardx hotel. While some items can be sourced from approved suppliers, others must be purchased directly from The Standardx or its affiliate. This ensures brand consistency and adherence to The Standardx's standards.
It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand which items The Standardx directly provides and delivers, and which items can be sourced from approved suppliers. This information will help in budgeting and planning for the initial setup of the hotel. Franchisees should also inquire about the costs associated with items purchased directly from The Standardx, as well as the criteria for approved suppliers.
