What is the required notice period if Belocal changes a franchisee's territory?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Belocal has the sole discretion to change a franchisee's territory, including its size, shape, boundaries, and population. Belocal is required to provide the franchisee with ninety (90) days' notice before making any such changes to the territory.

This means that Belocal franchisees could experience modifications to their designated areas, potentially impacting their business operations and revenue prospects. The franchisor has the power to alter the territory's characteristics, which could include its size, shape, boundaries, and the number of potential customers within it.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding the factors that could lead Belocal to change a territory and how such changes might affect their business plan. It would be prudent to discuss territory modification policies with existing franchisees to understand the potential impact and frequency of such changes.
