Is the City Wide franchisee required to execute a non-compete agreement, and if so, where is it located in the agreement?

According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to execute a non-compete agreement. Specifically, Section 12.1 states that the franchisee is required to execute the Non-Compete Agreement attached to the Franchise Agreement as Attachment F.

The non-compete agreement restricts the franchisee from engaging in competitive business activities during the term of the agreement. It also extends for a period of two years after the expiration or termination of the agreement. This includes owning, maintaining, engaging in, consulting with, or having any interest in any business that offers similar services or products to those of the City Wide system.

The agreement outlines specific geographic limitations, which include a radius of 150 miles from the franchisee's location, the metropolitan statistical area where the business is located, or a radius of 150 miles from any other City Wide business. City Wide also retains the right to modify the scope of these covenants. These restrictions are designed to protect City Wide's confidential information, client relationships, and market share.
