Who is responsible for reviewing, approving, and allocating potential Unit Areas of Operation for each Unit Franchisee in the Area under each Unit Franchise Agreement for Anago?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Subfranchisor bears the responsibility for reviewing, approving, and allocating potential Unit Areas of Operation for each Unit Franchisee within their designated area, as defined under each Unit Franchise Agreement. This means that the Subfranchisor has the authority to determine the operational areas for individual Anago unit franchisees.

This allocation responsibility also carries a liability component. The Subfranchisor is required to indemnify Anago against any issues arising from the selection or designation of these Unit Areas of Operation. This means that if a dispute arises related to the allocated territory, the Subfranchisor is responsible for protecting Anago from any resulting claims or expenses.

This arrangement places significant importance on the Subfranchisor's understanding of the local market and their ability to fairly and effectively allocate territories to Unit Franchisees. Prospective Subfranchisors should carefully consider this responsibility and the associated liability when evaluating the Anago franchise opportunity.
