Can All County disapprove a supplier whom it previously approved?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County has the right to disapprove suppliers they previously approved. This means that even if a franchisee is using a supplier that was once approved by All County, the franchisee may be prohibited from continuing to use that supplier if All County changes its approval. Franchisees must cease ordering from a disapproved supplier after receiving notice of the disapproval.

This provision gives All County significant control over the supply chain and allows them to enforce quality standards or make changes to their approved supplier list as needed. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that supplier approvals are not permanent and can be revoked. This could potentially disrupt a franchisee's operations if they need to find a new supplier on short notice.

All County may also impose obligations on approved suppliers, formalized in a written license agreement with the supplier. They may also seek reimbursement from the franchisee or the supplier for costs associated with the approval process and ongoing monitoring of the supplier's compliance. This highlights the ongoing scrutiny All County applies to its approved suppliers, and the potential costs associated with maintaining those approvals.
