Does 360 Painting offer rights of first refusal to acquire additional franchises?

According to 360 Painting's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not offered options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises. This means that if a 360 Painting franchisee wishes to open another franchise location, 360 Painting is not obligated to offer them the opportunity before offering it to a new franchisee or opening a company-owned location.

This policy is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it means that their ability to expand their business through additional franchise locations is not guaranteed. While strong performance as a franchisee may improve their chances of being awarded additional locations, 360 Painting retains the discretion to award franchises as they see fit. This differs from some franchise systems where existing franchisees have a contractual advantage in acquiring new territories.

Furthermore, 360 Painting retains significant rights regarding operating similar businesses under different marks and engaging in various activities, even within a franchisee's protected territory. They can also develop other concepts and award franchises for locations anywhere. These stipulations emphasize that while franchisees are granted a protected territory, 360 Painting maintains considerable flexibility in its overall business strategy and expansion, which could potentially impact franchisees.
