Does All County have the right to deny a franchisee's request to use a public figure for promotion?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must obtain written consent from All County before using any public figure to promote their franchise business. This means All County retains control over the use of public figures in franchisee advertising and promotional activities.

This requirement allows All County to maintain brand consistency and protect its reputation. By requiring approval, All County can ensure that any public figure used in advertising aligns with the brand's image and values. It also mitigates the risk of a franchisee associating the All County brand with a public figure who may later become controversial or damage the brand's reputation.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they cannot independently engage a public figure for promotional purposes without All County's express authorization. If a franchisee wishes to use a public figure, they must first seek and obtain written consent from All County. This may involve submitting a proposal outlining the public figure's role, the advertising campaign, and any associated costs. All County has the right to deny the request.

While All County does not currently use any public figures to promote its franchises or services, it retains the right to do so in the future. This highlights the importance of franchisees adhering to All County's guidelines and seeking approval for any promotional activities involving public figures to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
