Franchise agreement · 2026 filing
Supplies

Suppliers come from an approved list

Owners buy from approved suppliers, and a new supplier needs headquarters' approval first.

Every owner on record runs one location. Franchised locations grew by about 8 last year, and each opening buys the required systems.
