What must a Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee refrain from doing regarding the lease?

According to the 2025 FDD, a Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee must comply with all terms of their lease agreement. More specifically, the franchisee must refrain from any activity that might put their, the franchisor's, or the franchisor's designee's rights to remain in possession of the property or to renew the lease in jeopardy. This provision ensures that the franchisee operates within the legal boundaries of their lease and protects the interests of all parties involved in the franchise agreement.

Prior to signing any lease, renewal, or amendment, a Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee is required to submit the document to the franchisor for written acceptance. This acceptance does not constitute an endorsement of the lease's legal or business terms but allows the franchisor to ensure certain conditions are met. The franchisor may require the franchisee and landlord to sign a Rider to Lease and Collateral Assignment, as well as include specific terms and conditions in the lease agreement.

These terms and conditions may include a lease term of at least ten years, consent from the lessor for the franchisee to use Cd One Price Cleaners's proprietary marks and signage, and a restriction on the use of the leased premises solely for the operation of the Cd One Price Cleaners store. The franchisor may also require that the franchisee be prohibited from subleasing or assigning occupancy rights or extending/renewing the lease without prior written consent. Additionally, the franchisor may reserve the right to enter the site to protect proprietary marks or cure defaults, mandate notification and consent for lease amendments, and direct changes to store signage without the landlord's further consent. These stipulations enable Cd One Price Cleaners to maintain brand consistency and operational control across all franchise locations.
