Under what utilization rate does Cool Binz reserve the right to require additional containers?

According to Cool Binz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cool Binz retains the right to mandate franchisees to acquire more containers if their utilization rate reaches 80%. This means that if a franchisee's existing containers are in use 80% of the time, Cool Binz can require them to invest in additional containers. This policy is also in effect at the time of the renewal of the Franchise Agreement and at the time the Cool Binz Business is transferred.

This requirement ensures that franchisees have sufficient capacity to meet customer demand and maintain service levels. However, it also represents a potential financial burden for franchisees, as purchasing additional containers involves a capital outlay. Franchisees need to carefully monitor their utilization rates and anticipate when they might need to acquire more containers to avoid being caught off guard by this requirement.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the costs associated with acquiring and maintaining additional containers and to factor these costs into their financial projections. They should also discuss with Cool Binz the criteria used to determine utilization rates and the process for ordering and receiving additional containers. Understanding these details will help franchisees manage their container inventory effectively and avoid any unexpected financial obligations.
