What happens if All County disapproves a previously approved supplier?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County has the right to disapprove any supplier they previously approved. If All County disapproves a supplier, franchisees are prohibited from reordering from that supplier after receiving notice of the disapproval. This policy ensures that All County can maintain quality control and standards across its franchise system.

This restriction means that franchisees must stay informed about All County's approved supplier list and any changes to it. Failure to comply with this requirement could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement. All County also formulates and modifies the specifications and standards imposed on franchisees and suppliers at its sole business judgment, communicating these through the Operations Manual and written agreements with suppliers.

All County's ability to disapprove suppliers gives them significant control over the supply chain and the quality of goods and services used within the franchise network. While this can help maintain brand consistency and quality, it also limits the franchisee's autonomy in choosing suppliers. Franchisees should regularly consult the Operations Manual and any updates from All County to ensure they are using only approved suppliers. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the frequency with which suppliers are evaluated and the criteria used for approval and disapproval to better understand the potential impact on their business operations.
