What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Focalpoint Coaching retains the right to operate or grant others the right to operate Focalpoint Franchised Businesses at "Non-Traditional Sites" both within and outside a franchisee's territory.
These "Non-Traditional Sites" are defined as locations that have their own customer traffic, separate from the general traffic of the surrounding area. Examples of these sites include military bases, large industrial or office complexes, hotels, hospitals, and school campuses. This means that Focalpoint Coaching can establish or allow others to establish Focalpoint Coaching franchises in these types of locations, regardless of their proximity to an existing franchisee's territory.
This reservation of rights by Focalpoint Coaching could create competition for franchisees. A franchisee might find a Focalpoint Coaching location at a non-traditional site operating nearby, which could draw potential customers away from their primary territory. However, this also allows Focalpoint Coaching to explore diverse avenues for market penetration, potentially increasing brand visibility and overall market share.
