In which states did All County sign franchise agreements, but the outlet was not yet opened?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two states where franchise agreements were signed, but the outlets were not yet opened as of the end of the 2024 fiscal year. These states are Colorado and Utah. This means that All County had awarded franchises in these states, but the franchisees had not yet commenced operations by December 31, 2024.

For a prospective All County franchisee, this information indicates the pace of expansion and market penetration in different regions. It is not uncommon for there to be a lag between signing a franchise agreement and opening the outlet, due to factors such as site selection, build-out, training, and securing necessary permits and licenses. The FDD also mentions in Exhibit F that it identifies the name, city, state, and telephone number of every franchisee who signed a franchise agreement with All County but whose franchise outlet was not operational as of December 31, 2024.

It's important to note that while All County had agreements signed in Colorado and Utah, they projected to open 12 new franchised outlets in other states during the 2025 fiscal year. This suggests that the company is actively expanding its franchise network, but the timeline for opening new locations can vary. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the typical timeframe from signing the agreement to opening the outlet and what support All County provides during this period.

Prospective franchisees should also investigate the reasons why the outlets in Colorado and Utah were not yet operational. This could provide insights into potential challenges or delays in the opening process. Understanding these factors can help a new franchisee better prepare for their own launch and manage expectations.
