What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cd One Price Cleaners's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Sublease term ends when either the prime lease or the Franchise Agreement expires or terminates, whichever event occurs sooner. This means a franchisee's right to operate at the specific location is directly tied to the continuation of both the overarching lease held by Cd One Price Cleaners's affiliate and the individual franchise agreement.
This arrangement carries significant implications for a prospective Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee. If the prime lease on the property is not renewed or is terminated for any reason, the franchisee's Sublease automatically ends, potentially forcing them to relocate or cease operations, even if their Franchise Agreement is still active. Similarly, if the Franchise Agreement is terminated due to a breach or other cause, the Sublease also ends, regardless of the status of the prime lease.
It is important for a potential Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee to understand the terms and conditions of both the prime lease and the Franchise Agreement, including their respective expiration dates and termination clauses. Understanding these terms is crucial for assessing the long-term viability and security of the franchise location. A franchisee should also inquire about the possibility of negotiating an independent lease agreement with the landlord to protect their business in the event the prime lease is terminated.
