Questions to ask the franchisor
Generated from what this brand's FDD data does not disclose — ask GONG CHA USA FRANCHISING directly:

- What minimum net worth does the franchisor require? It is not disclosed in the FDD data we hold for this brand.
- Does the franchisor make financial performance representations (Item 19)? If it does, ask for the average unit revenue. Ask for the median too. This FDD makes none that we could extract.
- What does the brand's recent unit history show over the last three years (Item 20)? Ask about openings. Ask about closures. Ask about transfers. We have not extracted a unit-history table for this brand.
- How exactly is the territory defined and protected (Item 12)? Ask for the territory map and the reserved-rights carve-outs in writing.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the franchisor grants an exclusive territory: while your agreement runs, the franchisor may not place another franchisee — or operate a competing company unit — inside your territory's boundaries (subject to the carve-outs in the FDD).

The FDD's own words (Item 12): “this franchisor grants an exclusive territory as described in its FDD. If we grant you a Gong cha® unit franchise, you must sign our standard franchise agreement, which is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit G (the “Franchise Agreement”). If we grant you a Gong cha®”
