What franchise agreement might a transferee be required to sign for an All County franchise?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee may be required to sign the then-current standard form of the franchise agreement. All County retains the option to require the transferee to agree to the existing agreement's terms for the remainder of its term, or to execute the current standard franchise agreement and related documents used in the state where the business is located. This new agreement may include different royalties, advertising contributions, duration, and other rights and obligations than the original agreement.

This condition is part of the broader requirements for All County's approval of a transfer, ensuring that the transferee meets the brand's standards and obligations. The decision to enforce the existing agreement or require a new one lies at All County's discretion.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they plan to transfer their All County franchise in the future, the potential buyer might face different terms than the original agreement. It is important to understand the implications of both scenarios, as the new agreement could affect the financial obligations and operational requirements of the franchise. Franchisees should discuss this possibility with All County to understand the factors influencing this decision and prepare accordingly.
