Questions to ask the franchisor

Generated from what this brand's FDD data does not disclose — ask The Doan Group directly:

Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)

Exclusive territory — classified from Item 12, p.28 of the brand's FDD

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). Areas inside an existing franchisee's territory are therefore not available to a new buyer.

The FDD's own words (Item 12): “this franchisor grants an exclusive territory as described in its FDD.”
