All_County Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We or our other franchisees may reasonably enter into agreements to provide services to national or regional companies. These agreements may require our affiliate-operated or franchiseeoperated businesses to provide necessary services to all the national or regional company's locations, and some of these locations may be within your Territory. In the case of an agreement under which the customer will pay a fixed amount for services at all locations listed in such agreement, we will reasonably allocate the fixed amount among the businesses performing such services.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County or its franchisees can enter into agreements to provide services to national or regional companies. These agreements may require affiliate-operated or franchisee-operated businesses to provide services to all the national or regional company's locations, some of which may be within a franchisee's territory.
If an agreement involves a fixed payment for services across all locations, All County will reasonably allocate the fixed amount among the businesses performing the services. This means that while All County franchisees may service national accounts, the revenue distribution for those accounts is managed by All County to ensure fair allocation among the service providers.
This arrangement benefits franchisees by potentially providing access to larger, more stable national accounts that they might not otherwise secure independently. However, franchisees should be aware that All County retains control over the allocation of revenue from these national agreements, which could impact their individual profitability. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical allocation methods and the potential impact on their revenue projections during their due diligence.
