What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cd One Price Cleaners' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's ability to offer Pickup and Delivery (PUD) Services is restricted to a specific territory. The franchisee must provide PUD Services to Standard Customers within the designated PUD Territory, adhering to the standard terms set by Cd One Price Cleaners.
For Non-Standard Customers, Cd One Price Cleaners franchisees face additional limitations. They cannot offer PUD Services to Non-Standard Customers without prior review and approval from both Cd One Price Cleaners and COW (presumably a related or affiliated entity). If a franchisee wishes to serve Non-Standard Customers, they must provide all requested information about the customer, the service locations, and any proposed deviations from the standard terms. The franchisee is also responsible for covering any costs associated with the review process and necessary changes to the Order Processing System.
Cd One Price Cleaners franchisees are explicitly prohibited from providing PUD Services outside their designated PUD Territory. They also cannot serve customers who do not enroll through the Order Processing System or Non-Standard Customers who have not received prior approval from Cd One Price Cleaners. These restrictions ensure that PUD Services are provided within a controlled and approved framework, maintaining consistency and quality within the Cd One Price Cleaners system.
