The vendor opportunity at Grace Integrated

Grace Integrated is a health services franchise with a small but growing footprint. The most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), filed in 2026, reports 6 total units, all of which are company-owned. The system does not currently report any franchised locations. Despite its size, the brand posted 20% year-over-year unit growth, signaling an active expansion phase that could open new software purchasing needs. For vendors, the immediate addressable market is 6 locations, all concentrated in Illinois. The average unit volume (AUV) and royalty rate are not disclosed in the FDD.

Who controls software purchasing

Technology decisions at Grace Integrated are centralized. The FDD lists three executives in Item 1: Christopher McDevitt, who serves as Manager and Chief Executive Officer; Julie McDevitt, Manager and Clinical Director; and Jennifer Rocco, Franchise Coordinator. With no multi-unit operators on file and a single mapped operator running a single location, the buying center is firmly at HQ. Any software vendor pitching this system should direct outreach to the CEO and Clinical Director, who hold both managerial and operational authority.

Mandated and current tech stack

Grace Integrated’s Item 11 disclosures mandate a specific suite of technology. The FDD requires franchisees to use a designated business management software, designated payroll software, an Electronic Medical Record and Practice Management Software, Psychology Today, QuickBooks by Intuit Inc., and Simple Practice. This is a fully mandated stack with no optional or recommended alternatives listed. The presence of both an EMR/PM system and Simple Practice suggests a dual focus on clinical and administrative workflows. Vendors offering complementary or replacement solutions for any of these mandated categories must be prepared to displace an incumbent that is contractually required by the franchisor.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the specific supplier designation process—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly detailed. However, the Item 11 mandates indicate a top-down procurement model where the franchisor controls the technology stack. Contract timing is tied to the franchise lifecycle. The initial franchise term is 10 years. Item 17 allows for two additional 5-year renewal terms, contingent on signing a new franchise agreement, paying a renewal fee, and refurbishing the premises and equipment to meet then-current standards. Critically, the renewal terms may be materially different from the original agreement, including changes to fee requirements and territorial rights. This creates potential windows for software re-evaluation at each renewal point, as well as when new company-owned units are opened.

How to read the Grace Integrated FDD

The 2026 Grace Integrated FDD is embedded below. For software vendors, the most actionable sections are Item 1 (executive team), Item 11 (mandated technology), and Item 17 (renewal conditions). The document confirms a tightly controlled, HQ-driven technology environment with a fully mandated stack. While the system is small, its growth rate and centralized decision-making make it a straightforward target for a focused sales effort. For a ranked list of franchise targets matched to your software category, FranCloud can help.

There are 6 total units, all company-owned. The FDD does not disclose any franchised locations currently operating.
