Grant of Territory
Your franchise agreement will specify a territory, which will be determined by us. The territory will include a defined area and will generally be documented as a 50,000-population
center or a 5-mile radius from the location, whichever is less. Territories will be mapped based on the individual market circumstances for each unit sold. We will map out an area based on market research and the most recent available census data to come to territory modeling conclusions.
Relocation; Establishment of Additional Outlets
You do not have the right to relocate your business, and we have no obligation to approve any request for relocation. Our policy is to approve relocation of a franchisee's business on caseby-case basis, considering factors such as changes in demographics, profitability of your current business, or a loss of your premises due to circumstances beyond your control.
You do not have the right to establish additional franchised outlets unless you sign a Multi-Unit Development Agreement ("MUDA") in the form attached as Exhibit C to this disclosure document. If you and we sign a MUDA, then you will have the right to establish a mutually-agreed number of additional outlets on a mutually-agreed schedule.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crown Gold Exchange Franchise Disclosure Document, a territory will include a defined area and will generally be documented as a 50,000-population center or a 5-mile radius from the location, whichever is less.
Crown Gold Exchange determines the territory, mapping it based on market research and the most recent available census data. This modeling considers individual market circumstances for each unit sold. The territory is specified in the franchise agreement.
If Crown Gold Exchange fails to state the Territory in writing within 60 days after Franchisee opens the Business to the public, the Territory will be deemed to be the zip code which includes the location of the franchised business and the zip codes which immediately surround the location and together comprise a total of 50,000 population. This highlights the importance of clear communication and documentation of the territory definition to avoid ambiguity and potential disputes.
