What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while All County assists franchisees in territory selection, their approval of a franchise location does not include any guarantees of success or warranties related to the location or territory. All County's concerns when providing advice on territory selection include many factors, and they must approve the proposed franchise location. However, the FDD explicitly states that this approval does not guarantee success.
All County does not assist franchisees with ensuring the business premises conform to local ordinances and building codes. They also do not provide direct assistance in obtaining required permits or with the construction, remodeling, or decorating of the business premises. The franchisee is responsible for these aspects of setting up their All County franchise location.
This lack of warranty is typical in franchising, as the success of a location depends heavily on the franchisee's efforts and local market conditions, which are outside the franchisor's direct control. Prospective All County franchisees should conduct thorough market research and due diligence to assess the potential of their chosen territory before investing in the franchise.
