What is specified in Attachment 3 of the Annex Brands franchise agreement?

According to the 2025 Annex Brands Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment 3 to the franchise agreement designates the brand, center type, approved location, and protected area for the franchise. This attachment is a crucial component of the franchise agreement as it defines the specific parameters within which the franchisee will operate.

The designation of the 'brand' in Attachment 3 clarifies which of the Annex Brands concepts (e.g., Postal Annex, The UPS Store, etc.) the franchisee will be operating under. The 'center type' specifies the nature of the retail center, whether it is a standard, express, or flex retail business, each offering different services and products. The 'approved location' officially identifies the physical address where the franchise will be situated, a key factor in determining the business's potential customer base and operational logistics.

Furthermore, Attachment 3 outlines the 'protected area,' which is a geographic region within which the franchisor typically agrees not to establish another competing franchise. This protected area is intended to provide the franchisee with a degree of market exclusivity, helping to safeguard their investment and business operations from direct competition by other Annex Brands franchisees. The specifics of the protected area (size, boundaries, conditions) are vital for a prospective franchisee to understand, as they directly impact the potential market and competitive landscape for their franchise.
