TERRITORY
Territory. You will be granted a specific territory (the "Territory") in which to locate your Franchise Business office and market your services. Your Territory will be defined as a specific geographic area identified using commonly understood state, county, municipal, street, landmark or postal area definitions. A typical territory will not contain a population exceeding 250,000 and will contain a population of at least 50,000. We will not establish or locate, or license another person to establish or locate, another ALL COUNTY® business office within your Territory.
The Territory area for your ALL COUNTY® business office you are granted will be determined after negotiation between you and us, carefully considering where you want to be located and whether the proposed area is available. No other ALL COUNTY® business office will be physically located in your Territory and that no other ALL COUNTY® business shall be authorized to conduct grass-roots marketing efforts in your Territory, defined as conducting direct mail campaigns or physically visiting real estate offices or other businesses in your Territory for the purposes of soliciting referrals. You will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control.
Activity Outside of Territory. You have the right to provide services to customer account locations located up to 50 miles from the principal business address for the Franchised Business.
We have the right to establish ALL COUNTY® business offices anywhere outside your Territory. Except for conducting grass-roots marketing efforts in your Territory, defined as conducting direct mail campaigns or physically visiting real estate offices or other businesses in your Territory for the purposes of soliciting referrals, we, our affiliates, or other franchisees have the right to conduct radio, television, or other advertising, or service customer accounts inside your Territory. We have the right to sell services and any ancillary products, whether or not using the Marks, inside or outside your Territory through distribution channels other than ALL COUNTY® businesses, including offering real estate advertising and listing services through Internet websites or through published materials that are distributed in your Territory. We do not have to pay you any compensation for soliciting or accepting orders inside your Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County will not establish or license another All County business within a franchisee's territory. The territory is defined as a specific geographic area using state, county, municipal, street, landmark, or postal area definitions. Typically, a territory will have a population between 50,000 and 250,000. However, the franchise agreement does not grant an exclusive territory, meaning franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution.
While All County will not establish another physical All County business within the territory, other franchisees or All County itself can still conduct radio, television, or other advertising, or service customer accounts inside the territory. All County, its affiliates, or other franchisees can also sell services and ancillary products inside or outside the territory through other distribution channels, including internet websites or published materials, without compensating the franchisee.
To maintain territory rights, an All County franchisee must meet minimum performance standards outlined in the Franchise Agreement, specifically regarding Gross Revenue. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to the territory becoming non-exclusive or termination of the Franchise Agreement. The minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement is $150,000 for the second 365-day period and $250,000 for each subsequent 365-day period. There is no minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement for the initial 365 days.
