What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Non-Traditional Sites' are locations that have their own customer traffic, separate from the surrounding area. Focalpoint Coaching retains the right to operate or grant franchises at these Non-Traditional Sites, both within and outside of a franchisee's territory.
These sites include specific examples such as military bases, large industrial or office complexes, hotels, hospitals, and school campuses. This means Focalpoint Coaching could establish a franchise location at one of these sites even if it is within your territory.
This is important for prospective franchisees to understand because it clarifies that even within an approved territory, Focalpoint Coaching retains significant control over where franchises can operate, especially in these self-contained, high-traffic locations. This could impact a franchisee's potential customer base and revenue, as Focalpoint Coaching could place another franchise in a location that draws customers away from the franchisee's primary territory.
