About AlphaGraphics, Inc

AGIT operated AlphaGraphics Printshops beginning in 1970 and first offered franchises in November 1979. (the “Franchising Subsidiary”), offered franchises for AlphaGraphics franchised businesses from 1980 to January 1992, but never operated any itself. TERRITORY (Item 12): territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory.

Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)

Protected territory — classified from Item 12, p.63 of the brand's FDD

Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the territory carries some protection but not full exclusivity — for example, the franchisor may reserve certain channels or accounts. Future concepts may also be reserved. Areas inside an existing franchisee's protected territory are generally not available to a new buyer for a directly competing unit; the exact limits are in the FDD text quoted above.

The FDD's own words (Item 12): “territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory.”
