What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Care Plus Medical Ucc Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must develop, open, and operate their Care Plus Medical Ucc business at the location specified in the franchise agreement for the entire term of the agreement. The location is determined according to Section 6.1 of the agreement.
This means that all sales and business operations must be conducted from the approved physical location. Franchisees cannot operate a Care Plus Medical Ucc business from an unapproved site or a mobile location. This ensures that Care Plus Medical Ucc maintains control over the brand's image and service standards.
Care Plus Medical Ucc retains the right to sell and license others to sell products and services in the franchisee's territory through other channels of distribution, including the internet, which means that while the franchisee is responsible for sales at their physical location, Care Plus Medical Ucc can also engage in online sales within the same territory. This could create competition for the franchisee, but it also allows Care Plus Medical Ucc to expand its market reach beyond the physical locations of its franchises.
