What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All County Franchise Disclosure Document, Appendix B to the Franchise Agreement serves to define the franchisee's authorized business location and territory. Specifically, it identifies the approved business address and outlines the territory granted to the franchisee, which contains a population of less than 250,000. If the location is not approved when the agreement is initially signed, Appendix B will be updated later once All County designates and approves a location.
For prospective All County franchisees, this means Appendix B is a crucial part of the agreement that defines where they can operate and who they can serve. The territory is defined by counties, political subdivisions, or Zip Code boundaries as they exist on the date of the agreement, and these boundaries remain fixed regardless of any later changes. A map illustrating the territory is included in Appendix B-1.
This level of detail is typical for franchise agreements, as it protects both the franchisor and franchisee by clearly delineating operating areas and preventing overlap or disputes. Franchisees should carefully review Appendix B and any associated maps to fully understand the scope and limitations of their territory before signing the agreement. Understanding the territory boundaries is essential for business planning and market development.
