Cool_Binz Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
A Territory will have approximately 350,000 - 450,000 people to a maximum of 500,000 people. As of the date of this Disclosure Document, we are utilizing data that has been collected by a national demographics company to determine the number of people in each Territory.
You will not receive an exclusive Territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control.
You will receive certain protected rights in your Territory. No other COOL BINZ Business may establish an office location within your Territory. No other COOL BINZ business may advertise in your Territory in print, media, door-to-door, mass electronic communication, or direct web-based advertising within your Territory. You may experience some indirect/carry-over advertising from other franchisees in media where the reach of advertising is difficult to restrict to zip codes, such as radio or indirect web-based advertising. If and when developed by us, you will receive NORA (defined below in Section 12.4) referrals for your assigned zip codes in accordance with the NORA program requirements. We cannot guarantee your participation in these programs. If you are not compliant with your Franchise Agreement, program requirements, or fail to perform program work adequately, we may direct NORA referrals to another franchisee or ourselves. You will receive Call Center leads for your assigned zip codes. If you are not compliant with your Franchise Agreement, we may direct these leads to another franchisee or ourselves.
You may relocate the Office Site within the Territory at your sole discretion but must immediately notify us of the change in address. During the term of the Franchise Agreement, we will not allow you to relocate the Territory; however, the exact boundaries of the Territory may change in the future, as future zip code changes are made by the United States Postal Service or Census Bureau.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cool Binz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a territory will have an approximate population between 350,000 and 450,000 people, with a maximum of 500,000 people. Cool Binz uses data collected by a national demographics company to determine the population within each territory. The territory consists of specific zip codes awarded to the franchisee, as determined by Census Bureau statistics.
While franchisees receive certain protected rights within their territory, the territory is not exclusive. Franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution. The protected rights include preventing other Cool Binz businesses from establishing an office location or advertising within the franchisee's territory through print, media, door-to-door, mass electronic communication, or direct web-based advertising. However, franchisees may experience indirect advertising from other franchisees in media with broader reach, such as radio or indirect web-based advertising.
Cool Binz may offer National or Regional Account (NORA) referrals and Call Center leads for the franchisee's assigned zip codes. However, participation in these programs is not guaranteed and may be directed to other franchisees or to Cool Binz itself if the franchisee is not compliant with the Franchise Agreement or fails to perform adequately. The exact boundaries of the territory may change in the future due to zip code changes made by the United States Postal Service or Census Bureau.
