What is the All County franchisee prohibited from doing after receiving notice of disapproval of a supplier?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if All County disapproves a supplier that was previously approved, franchisees are prohibited from reordering from that supplier after receiving notice of the disapproval. This restriction is put in place to ensure that franchisees adhere to All County's standards and specifications for goods and services used in their franchise operations.

This policy has practical implications for All County franchisees. It means that franchisees must stay informed about All County's approved supplier list and any changes to it. If a previously approved supplier is disapproved, the franchisee must immediately cease ordering from that supplier. Failure to comply with this requirement could lead to penalties, including termination of the franchise agreement, as noted in Item 8 regarding purchasing services and goods from approved suppliers.

While All County retains the right to disapprove suppliers, the FDD also states that when a franchisee proposes a new supplier, All County will not unreasonably withhold approval. This suggests that franchisees have some recourse if they believe a supplier has been unfairly disapproved. However, the ultimate decision rests with All County, and franchisees must respect the decision to maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
