What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's territory will be specified in the franchise agreement and will have a minimum population of 500,000 people. This population is then weighed against the income levels per household in the area. The boundaries of the territory are defined using zip codes, county or city lines, or some other limit.
Bombs Away grants an exclusive territory to its franchisees, meaning that the company will not establish another company-owned or franchised outlet selling similar goods or services under the same trademarks within the franchisee's territory. This exclusivity is not contingent on any specific factors, and Bombs Away cannot modify these territorial rights.
However, Bombs Away retains the right to serve customers within a franchisee's territory under certain circumstances. These include situations where the franchisee is in default or is unable to meet customer demand. Bombs Away may also serve a specific customer if the franchisee fails to provide proper service. These exceptions are typical in franchise agreements to ensure customer needs are met and the brand's reputation is maintained, even if the franchisee is underperforming.
