What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests a review of alternative plans, designs, or products that differ from the prototype plans, they must pay an Alternative Design Review Fee. This fee covers the cost of The Standardx reviewing these alternative designs.
The Alternative Design Review Fee can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the project. The size and location of the project are key factors, as well as the extent of the review required by The Standardx.
While the exact fee is not fixed, The Standardx estimates that the Alternative Design Review Fee will likely range from $5,000 to $30,000. This provides a prospective franchisee with a general idea of the potential cost if they choose to deviate from the standard prototype designs.
