About Pop Bar
TERRITORY (Item 12): territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory. Other than servicing and selling franchises for Popbar shops and owning Popbar shops, we are not involved in other business activities. Our Affiliate previously had a master franchise
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, you do not receive an exclusive territory. The franchisor may sell additional franchises in the same area. It may also operate company units there. Or it may sell through other channels. No area is reserved for you. No area is closed to you by another franchisee's exclusivity either. Placement is the franchisor's decision.
The FDD's own words (Item 12): “territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory. Other than servicing and selling franchises for Popbar shops and owning Popbar shops, we are not involved in other business activities. Our Affiliate previously had a master franchise”

Why two unit counts? The Key figures above cite 15 franchised units (Item 20, p.49) — the franchisor's reported franchised-unit total. The map above sums Item 20, Table 3 (franchised outlets by state at fiscal year-end), which totals 13. The two Item 20 figures are compiled on different bases, so they need not match.
Availability
Because this brand grants no exclusive territory, there are no territory-based exclusions: no area is reserved for an existing franchisee, and no area is reserved for you. Whether a new unit is placed anywhere is the franchisor's decision under Item 12.
