Does the Dryject Franchise Agreement provide franchisees with any rights to acquire additional franchises within areas contiguous to their Designated Territory?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement does not provide franchisees with any options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional Dryject franchises in areas adjacent to their designated territory. However, Dryject may, at its discretion, provide franchisees with restricted, conditional, and temporary rights to offer goods and services in neighboring territories, provided those territories have not already been granted to other franchise operators.

This means that while a Dryject franchisee has no contractual guarantee to expand their business into adjacent areas, the possibility exists for them to do so on a temporary or conditional basis, subject to Dryject's approval and the availability of the territory. This discretionary approach gives Dryject flexibility in managing its franchise network and territorial development.

It is also important to note that neither the continuation of the Franchise Agreement nor the size of the franchisee's designated territory depends on achieving any sales quotas, market penetration, or other performance-based contingencies. This provides a degree of security for the franchisee, as their territorial rights are not tied to specific performance metrics. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific conditions under which they might be granted rights to operate in contiguous territories and what criteria Dryject uses to make such decisions.
