Under what conditions can a Deer Solution franchisee add Additional Territories?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may add Additional Territories subject to certain conditions. The grant of the initial Operating Territory to a Deer Solution franchisee will vary from other franchisees based on local factors, market conditions, and the number of Territories purchased when signing the Franchise Agreement. A typical territory consists of a geographic area with approximately 40,000 single-family dwellings having an annual household income of at least $125,000, which are referred to as "Targeted Households."

To expand beyond the initial territory, a Deer Solution franchisee must obtain approval from Deer Solution, ensure that the Additional Territories are available, and pay the additional Initial Franchise Fees as outlined in Item 5 of the FDD. Each Additional Territory will also consist of a geographic area that includes approximately 40,000 Targeted Households. The determination of the Operating Territory is based on an aggregate calculation using raw data of population density, demographics, and geographical boundaries.

Adding Additional Territories will also impact the franchisee's local marketing expenditure, as it will increase to cover the expanded area. This means that while a franchisee can grow their potential customer base, they must also be prepared to invest more in marketing to reach those new customers. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and associated costs before deciding to add Additional Territories.
