What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County grants franchises to people or companies who meet their qualifications and are willing to undertake the investment and effort required to own and operate an All County business through their designated business system, procedures, policies, and standards.
To transfer a franchise, the transferee and its direct and indirect owners must possess the moral character, skill, aptitude, attitude, experience, references, credentials, acumen, and financial capacity to operate the business. The current franchisee must have paid all royalties, ad fees, amounts owed for purchases from All County, and all other amounts owed to them or to third-party creditors, and have submitted all required reports and statements. The transferee's Managing Owner must agree to complete training to All County's satisfaction and must complete the training before closing.
In cases of transfer, the transferee must agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the existing Franchise Agreement for the remainder of its term. Alternatively, at All County's option, the transferee may be required to execute All County's then-current standard form of franchise agreement and related documents used in the state where the business is located. This new agreement may include different royalties, advertising contributions and expenditures, duration, and other rights and obligations than the original agreement.
