What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the only way All County will formally accept a proposed site for a franchise location is through a properly executed site acceptance form. This means that no other form of communication, whether written or verbal, from any officer, employee, or agent of All County, can be considered an official or binding acceptance of the site.
All County will make an effort to determine whether or not they will accept the site within seven days of receiving the site acceptance form and any other requested materials. All County will also provide their standard site selection criteria and assistance for the business, which they may update periodically.
This formal process protects both All County and the franchisee. It ensures that site selection decisions are made according to consistent criteria and prevents misunderstandings based on informal communications. The franchisee is responsible for their own independent investigation of the site's suitability, and All County's approval does not constitute a warranty of the site's success.
