Can Bombs Away Franchising establish and license others to establish and operate Bombs Away businesses outside the Territory?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away Franchising retains the right to establish and license others to establish and operate Bombs Away businesses outside a franchisee's designated territory. This means that while franchisees are granted a specific territory, Bombs Away Franchising is not restricted from expanding the brand's presence beyond those boundaries through additional franchises.

This provision in the franchise agreement is important for prospective franchisees to understand. While a franchisee is given an exclusive territory, Bombs Away Franchising can still grow the brand by opening new locations outside of that territory. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maximize brand reach and market penetration.

However, franchisees should be aware that Bombs Away Franchising also has the right to serve customers within the franchisee's territory under certain circumstances, such as if the franchisee is in default or unable to meet customer demand. Additionally, Bombs Away Franchising can sell and license others to sell Bombs Away products and services within the territory through other distribution channels as long as those products and services are not provided through a Bombs Away outlet and are different from those offered by the franchisee. Franchisees should carefully consider these factors and how they might impact their business before investing in a Bombs Away franchise.
