You must offer and sell all the services and products we specify.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to All States M.E.D.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, All States M.E.D. has the ability to change the required services and products that franchisees must offer. Franchisees are required to offer and sell all services and products that All States M.E.D. specifies.
All States M.E.D. franchisees are prohibited from selling any services or products that have not been authorized by All States M.E.D., and they must discontinue offering any services or products that All States M.E.D. disapproves of. If a franchisee purchases or sells unapproved products or makes purchases from unapproved suppliers, All States M.E.D. may take action, including terminating the franchise agreement.
All States M.E.D. may periodically change required or authorized services or products. The FDD states that there are no limits on All States M.E.D.'s right to do so, except that the investment required of the franchisee to change required or authorized products or services will not be unreasonably disproportionate to their initial investment. All States M.E.D. may also allow certain services or products that are not otherwise authorized for general use as a part of the System to be offered locally or regionally based on factors, including test marketing, franchisee qualifications, and regional or local differences.
