Casiola Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
The scope of your Operating Market will vary from the scope and size of the operating territories of other franchisees in our System depending on local factors, market conditions, and the number of Territories that you purchase at the time of signing your Franchise Agreement. A Territory, generally, will consist of a resort, vacation area, market, and/or geographic area that includes up to approximately 5,000 potential rentable individual unit shortterm rental properties within a 40 minute drive time from your administrative office. Subject to availability, our approval, and payment of additional Initial Franchise Fees identified in Item 5 of this Disclosure Document, you may add Additional Territories. Each Additional Territory will consist of a geographic area that includes up to approximately 5,000 potential rentable individual short-term rental properties. The number of potential rentable individual short-term rental properties will be determined by us at the time of signing your Franchise Agreement and will be determined based on our evaluation of industry data related to potential available individual unit rental properties that may be rented on a short-term basis. Your Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee Requirement and local marketing expenditure will increase if you add Additional Territories.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a territory generally consists of a resort, vacation area, market, and/or geographic area that includes up to approximately 5,000 potential rentable individual unit short-term rental properties within a 40-minute drive of the franchisee's administrative office. The scope and size of an Operating Market can vary from other franchisees, depending on local factors, market conditions, and the number of territories purchased.
A prospective Casiola franchisee should understand that the number of potential rentable individual short-term rental properties will be determined by Casiola when the Franchise Agreement is signed, based on their evaluation of industry data. If a franchisee wants to expand their business, they can add Additional Territories, subject to availability, Casiola's approval, and payment of additional Initial Franchise Fees. Each Additional Territory will consist of a geographic area that includes up to approximately 5,000 potential rentable individual short-term rental properties.
It's important to note that adding Additional Territories will increase the Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee Requirement and local marketing expenditure for the franchisee. Casiola franchisees should also be aware that they will not receive an exclusive territory and may face competition from other franchisees, outlets that Casiola owns, or other channels of distribution or competitive brands that Casiola controls.
