Must a City Wide franchisee comply with City Wide's then-current criteria for operating a Franchised Business to be granted a Successor Term?

According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must comply with City Wide's then-current criteria for operating a franchised business to be granted a Successor Term. This includes meeting City Wide's current franchisee qualification and training requirements. This is one of several conditions that must be met to be granted a successor franchise term.

Other conditions include not being in default of any agreement with City Wide, full compliance with standards and requirements in the Franchise Agreement and Operating Manual, satisfying all monetary obligations, and executing the Successor Franchise Agreement. The franchisee must also provide evidence of the right to remain in possession of the office location or an acceptable alternative.

These requirements ensure that franchisees continue to meet City Wide's standards and maintain the quality of the brand. For a prospective franchisee, this means that maintaining compliance and meeting all obligations throughout the term of the agreement is crucial for the opportunity to renew the franchise for additional terms. Failing to meet these criteria could result in the inability to renew the franchise agreement.
