In California, which agency is designated as City Publications' agent for service of process?

According to City Publications' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit B lists the registered agents authorized to receive service of process. To determine the specific agent for service of process in California, a prospective franchisee should refer to Exhibit B of the FDD. This exhibit would contain the name and contact information of the designated agent, which could be an individual or a company authorized to accept legal documents on behalf of City Publications in California.

It is important to consult Exhibit B because the agent for service of process can change, and relying on outdated information could lead to legal notices not being properly served.
