What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company does not currently utilize any public figures to promote its franchises or services. However, All County retains the option to use public figures for promotional purposes in the future. As a franchisee, you are prohibited from using any public figure or third party to promote your All County franchise without express written consent from the company. This policy ensures that All County maintains control over its brand image and marketing strategies.
All County may administer an Advertising Fund, which is used for advertising, public relations, market research, and promotional programs. These efforts may be conducted in-house or through outside vendors and can be national, regional, or local. The advertising and marketing may include print, radio, television, or internet, including the All County website. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will be effective in a franchisee's specific geographic area or that any particular campaign will be run in that area.
The Advertising Fund is supported by advertising and marketing fees paid by franchisees. Currently, the monthly Advertising Fund Fee is the greater of 1% of Gross Revenue or $195, with all franchisees contributing at the same percentage rate. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the collected Advertising Fund monies were spent as follows: 26% on website development services, 51.8% on client retention, and 22.2% on marketing and public relations. Franchisees should be aware that the franchisor may contribute to the Advertising Fund but is not obligated to do so, and the fees are not held in a trust or fiduciary relationship.
