What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1 800 Packouts's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's right to install signage is subject to certain limitations. The landlord's approval is required but cannot be unreasonably withheld. Additionally, the signage must comply with applicable government ordinances, restrictive covenants, and the shopping center's signage criteria, if applicable.
Prior to installation, the franchisee must submit the signage plans to the landlord for review and approval. However, the franchisee is permitted to display signs and promotional items inside the premises, provided they align with 1 800 Packouts's national standards.
This means a prospective 1 800 Packouts franchisee needs to factor in potential costs and time delays associated with obtaining landlord approval and ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and criteria. They should also familiarize themselves with 1 800 Packouts's national standards for interior signage to ensure their displays are compliant.
