What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must comply with all other applicable transfer requirements as designated in the Operating Manual or otherwise by City Wide in writing. This means that in addition to the conditions explicitly outlined in the franchise agreement, City Wide can impose additional requirements for transferring the franchise.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that the transfer process is not solely governed by the terms in the franchise agreement. City Wide retains the right to modify or add to the transfer requirements through the Operating Manual or written communication. Therefore, it is crucial for a franchisee considering a transfer to consult both the franchise agreement and the most current version of the Operating Manual.
It would be prudent for a prospective City Wide franchisee to discuss potential transfer scenarios with City Wide during their due diligence. Specifically, they should inquire about any transfer requirements that are not explicitly detailed in the franchise agreement and how frequently the Operating Manual is updated. Understanding these potential additional requirements is essential for making informed decisions about the franchise.
