What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, other All County businesses may be allowed to conduct radio, television, or other advertising that may pass through or exist in a franchisee's territory. This is subject to All County's methods of operation and the company's sole business judgment.
Despite the potential for overlapping advertising, All County retains the right to solicit, market to, advertise to, and build national and regional account relationships, even if the offices of these accounts are located inside a franchisee's territory. This means that while a franchisee is building their local business, All County can independently pursue larger accounts that may fall within that same territory.
This aspect of the franchise agreement highlights the importance of understanding the balance between a franchisee's local exclusivity and All County's broader business strategies. A prospective franchisee should consider how these overlapping advertising and marketing efforts might affect their business and discuss any concerns with All County prior to signing the agreement.
