What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1 800 Packouts Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must furnish evidence of compliance with post-termination obligations within 30 days of the termination or expiration date. This evidence must be satisfactory to 1 800 Packouts.
Prior to this, the franchisee must provide 1 800 Packouts with a listing of all uncompleted jobs as of the termination date, including details about the contents stored at the facility. 1 800 Packouts may then require the franchisee to take certain actions at their own expense, such as completing open jobs, continuing to store customer contents securely, arranging for delivery and storage at another approved facility, or arranging for delivery of contents to customers. If 1 800 Packouts or its designee takes over any open jobs, the franchisee may have to pay a liquidated damages fee of $5,000 per job, in addition to any actual expenses exceeding that amount.
Additionally, if 1 800 Packouts does not acquire the lease or facility, the franchisee must modify or alter the business location to differentiate it from a 1 800 Packouts franchise. This includes removing signs, marks, and trade dress to indicate the termination of the franchise relationship. If the franchisee fails to comply with these requirements, 1 800 Packouts has the right to enter the premises to make the necessary changes, and the franchisee must reimburse 1 800 Packouts for these expenses.
