What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding the office location during the term or any successor term can be found in the Operating Manual. Specifically, Item 22 outlines that the franchisee must notify City Wide of the office location during the term or any successor term as outlined in the manual.
The franchisee cannot change the location without City Wide's approval. The franchisee must provide City Wide with at least thirty days written notice before any change. City Wide then has thirty days to approve the new location, decor, and signage. If City Wide does not disapprove within that thirty-day period, it is considered disapproved.
Additionally, the franchisee is required to maintain the condition and appearance of the office consistent with City Wide standards, as detailed in the Operating Manual and other written communications. City Wide retains the right to inspect the premises and demand repairs, painting, maintenance, or replacements if the office does not meet their standards. If the franchisee fails to address deficiencies after notification, City Wide can perform the work at the franchisee's expense. Franchisee shall maintain an office for the Franchised Business within the Designated Territory.
