Does Ledgers reserve the right to implement cross-territorial protocols for situations like group advertising buys?

According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Ledgers retains the right to implement cross-territorial protocols. This means Ledgers can establish guidelines and rules that apply when multiple franchisees engage in activities that extend beyond their individual territories.

Specifically, Ledgers reserves the right to implement these protocols for situations such as group advertising buys. This allows Ledgers to manage and coordinate advertising campaigns that involve multiple territories, ensuring consistency and effectiveness across different regions. It also applies to situations involving customers who may reside in one territory but work in another, and other scenarios that cross territorial boundaries.

This reservation of rights gives Ledgers the flexibility to address complex situations that may arise from franchisees operating in overlapping or adjacent territories. While franchisees have some autonomy within their designated areas, Ledgers maintains control over cross-territorial activities to protect the overall brand and ensure fair competition among franchisees. Prospective franchisees should understand that Ledgers has the authority to set the rules for these types of situations, which could impact their marketing strategies and customer interactions.
