What is the notification timeframe for All County in the event of the death or incapacity of the Managing Owner?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Managing Owner dies or becomes incapacitated, the franchisee must immediately notify All County of the event. Additionally, the franchisee is required to appoint a new Managing Owner within sixty (60) days of the death or incapacity. All County retains the right to review and disapprove the newly appointed Managing Owner within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the appointment.

This requirement ensures that All County is promptly informed of any changes in the management of the franchise, allowing them to maintain oversight and consistency across their franchise network. The immediate notification requirement allows All County to begin working with the franchisee to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.

The sixty-day timeframe to appoint a new Managing Owner provides the franchisee with a reasonable period to find a suitable replacement while ensuring the business continues to operate effectively. All County's right to review and disapprove the new appointment protects the brand by ensuring that the new Managing Owner meets their standards and is capable of upholding the franchise's operational requirements.

This process helps to mitigate potential disruptions to the business and maintain the integrity of the All County brand. Franchisees should be aware of these requirements and have a plan in place to address the potential death or incapacity of the Managing Owner to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
