What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 All States M.E.D. Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 17.3 outlines the requirements for franchisees regarding changes to the franchised business upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. If a franchisee fails to comply with these requirements, All States M.E.D. has the right to enter the franchised business premises.
All States M.E.D. can then make or cause to be made the changes necessary to ensure there is no association between All States M.E.D. and the business subsequently operated by the franchisee or others at the location. These changes can include removing physical and structural features that are distinctive to the All States M.E.D. system.
The franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses incurred by All States M.E.D. for making these changes. The franchisee must pay these expenses upon demand from All States M.E.D.
