What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County must approve your proposed franchise location. All County will provide advice in territory selection if you have not already selected a potential territory. All County's concerns regarding your choice of a territory for your Franchise Business include many factors. However, All County's approval of your franchise location does not guarantee success in the territory, nor does this approval imply a warranty as to any aspect of the location or territory.
All County's approval of your Franchise Business office will be based primarily on proximity to any existing franchise locations, lease terms, suitability of the location for activities of the business, zoning, parking, and general neighborhood. All County will provide their decision of the acceptability of any proposed site you submit for your franchise location within 7 days of receipt of all required information concerning the proposed site.
You must have a proposed site approved within 120 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement or All County may terminate the Franchise Agreement and keep your initial franchise fee, unless All County agrees to extend the amount of time for you to find a suitable site.
