What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Cd One Price Cleaners has the right to bring an action for a temporary restraining order or for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief against a franchisee in specific locations.
The FDD states that Cd One Price Cleaners can pursue such legal actions in any federal or state court located in the state where the franchisee resides or where the Cd One Price Cleaners store is located. This means that Cd One Price Cleaners is not limited to a specific jurisdiction like Chicago, Illinois, for these types of emergency legal actions.
This provision allows Cd One Price Cleaners to act quickly to protect its interests, such as preventing a franchisee from violating the franchise agreement or misusing proprietary information, without the delay of having to pursue action in a distant jurisdiction. For a prospective franchisee, this means they could face immediate legal action in their home state or the state where their store operates if Cd One Price Cleaners believes they are in violation of the franchise agreement and seeks injunctive relief.
