What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Location' refers to the specific business location address where the franchisee is authorized to operate the All County Business. This location is identified in Appendix B of the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee is granted the right to operate the All County Business and use the associated Marks and System solely at this designated location.
The agreement strictly prohibits operating the All County Business from any location other than the one specified in Appendix B without prior written consent from All County. This restriction ensures that All County maintains control over where its franchises operate, which helps to maintain brand consistency and manage market saturation.
Furthermore, upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, All County has the option to purchase the franchisee's business, including the leasehold rights to the Location. The purchase price will consider the remaining term of the lease for the Location when determining the business's fair market value. This clause highlights the importance of securing a suitable and potentially long-term lease for the approved Location, as it can impact the value of the business should All County exercise its purchase option.
