What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County will provide franchisees with written specifications as to how the business premises must appear. However, All County does not provide assistance with conforming the business premises to local ordinances and building codes. They also do not provide direct assistance in obtaining required permits, constructing, remodeling, or decorating the business premises.
This means that while All County dictates the appearance standards, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring the location meets all local regulations and for handling all construction and decoration independently. This is a fairly standard arrangement in franchising, where the franchisor sets brand standards but the franchisee manages the build-out process.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review these written specifications to understand the required investment in setting up their All County office. They should also factor in the costs and time associated with permits, construction, and any necessary remodeling to meet both All County's standards and local regulations. Understanding these responsibilities and associated costs is crucial for budgeting and planning the launch of the franchise.
