What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the identity of approved suppliers and their specifications are updated periodically. These updates are made in writing through modifications to the Operations Manual. All County communicates these changes to franchisees by updating their website, sending updates via U.S. mail, or through other commercially reasonable methods.
This means that as an All County franchisee, you should regularly check the Operations Manual for any changes to approved suppliers or specifications. It is All County's discretion to determine the frequency of these updates based on the current needs for operating the Franchise Business. The evaluation of approved suppliers is based on factors such as price, service, quality, and other commercially reasonable benchmarks.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that All County retains the right to modify these specifications and standards at their sole business judgment. This includes the ability to disapprove previously approved suppliers, preventing franchisees from reordering from them after receiving notice of disapproval. Therefore, maintaining awareness of these updates is crucial for compliance and operational efficiency.
