What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can renew their Franchise Agreement for an additional 10-year period if they meet certain conditions.
First, the franchisee must have complied with all the provisions of the existing Franchise Agreement throughout its term. This indicates that All County expects franchisees to adhere to the operational standards, payment schedules, and other requirements outlined in the agreement.
Second, the franchisee must notify All County in writing of their intent to renew the agreement at least 90 days before the end of the current term. This advance notice allows All County to plan for the renewal process and assess the franchisee's eligibility.
Third, the franchisee must comply with All County's qualifications and training requirements that are current at the time of renewal. This suggests that All County may update its standards and training programs, and franchisees must meet these updated requirements to be eligible for renewal. The franchisee may also be required to execute All County's then-current form of franchise agreement, which may have terms that differ from the original agreement, although they will not be required to pay an additional initial franchise fee and their territory will remain the same.
