Does the Deer Solution franchise agreement specify the location requirements for the Administrative Office(s)?

According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement specifies certain location requirements for the Administrative Office. The Administrative Office must be located within the Operating Territory granted to the franchisee. Furthermore, the location of the Administrative Office is subject to approval by Deer Solution.

Deer Solution defines "Franchisee's Administrative Office" as the office from which the franchisee manages their Deer Solution business. The franchisor retains the right to make decisions, actions, and choices concerning the agreement, the system, and the franchised business, with the intention of benefiting the system. This includes decisions related to operating territory markets and minimizing potential customer confusion regarding the location of Deer Solution businesses.

In practical terms, a prospective Deer Solution franchisee must secure an Administrative Office within their designated Operating Territory. The franchisee cannot simply choose any location; it must be approved by Deer Solution. This gives Deer Solution control over the franchisee's base of operations and ensures it aligns with their overall business strategy and brand image. The franchisee should discuss specific criteria for Administrative Office approval with Deer Solution during their due diligence.
