What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cd One Price Cleaners' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the PUD (Pickup and Delivery) Start Date is defined as the date the franchisee must begin providing PUD Services, which is within ten business days after the franchisor notifies the franchisee that the Order Processing System is ready. This system includes territory setup to accept orders from the franchisee's PUD service customers.
For a prospective Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee, this means that after signing the addendum for PUD services, they will need to be prepared to launch the service relatively quickly once the franchisor gives the go-ahead. This involves ensuring that all necessary resources, such as vehicles and personnel, are in place and that marketing efforts are aligned to begin immediately.
If the PUD territory is divided into sub-territories, the franchisee must begin PUD services in Sub-Territory #1 on the PUD Start Date. The staged launch of PUD Services is considered a critical aspect of the addendum, and the franchisee must only advertise, market, offer, and provide PUD Services in Sub-Territory #1 on the PUD Start Date. Expansion into additional sub-territories requires the franchisor's prior written approval and must occur on or before the Sub-Territory Launch Deadlines listed on Exhibit A.
