What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are advised to seek legal counsel to review and evaluate the lease for their business location. All County must approve the location that the franchisee chooses to operate the business from. Franchisees must submit a proposed location for All County's approval, following their procedures.
All County has the right to approve the terms of any lease, sublease, or purchase contract for the location. Franchisees must provide a copy of the lease for approval before signing it. However, All County's approval does not provide any warranty or representation about the fairness, suitability, or the franchisee's ability to comply with the lease terms. All County also does not assume any liability or responsibility to the franchisee or any third parties by approving the lease.
Within fifteen days of executing the lease, sublease, or purchase contract, the franchisee must deliver a copy of the fully signed document to All County. This ensures All County has a record of the agreement and can confirm it aligns with the previously approved terms. This requirement highlights the importance of careful legal review and adherence to All County's approval process to avoid potential issues or disputes later on.
